Answer:
8 1/2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Please use " ' " to indicate fractions:
Andrea rode her bike 3 2/3 miles on saturday and 4 5/6 miles on sunday.
Add together 3 2/3 and 4 5/6. The LCD is 6, so 3 2/3 should be rewritten as 3 4/6. Now 3 4/6 and 4 5/6 have the same denominator, 6.
3 4/6
+4 5/6
-----------
7 9/6. Note that 9/6 = 1 1/2, so rewrite
7 9/6 as 8 3/6, or 8 1/2.
She biked 8 1/2 miles in all.
Just plug in an easy number for "x" and solve. Then see if the second problem is really greater that the first
I’m pretty sure there are infinite solutions as the system of equations are equivalent to each other.
