Question

a bike race is 6 miles long by noon tammy had ridden 3/4 of the distance. at this rate how long will it take her to finish the race.

Answer 1

The racer take 4 hours (between 8:00 to 12:00) to race 3/4 of 6 miles

3/4 of 6 miles = 18/4 = 4.5 miles

4 hours ⇒ 4.5 miles
1 hour ⇒ 4.5 ÷ 4 = 1.125 miles

The time taken to complete 6 miles = 6 ÷ 1.125 = 16/3 hours = 5.3 hours
