If she can ride her bike 3 miles in 24 minutes how far can she ride her bike in 72minutes. So, if we find out how many times 24 goes into 72 (by dividing it) then times the answer by 3 because that’s how many miles she can do in 24 min. That will give you the answer e.g
Sally can ride her bike 4 miles in 12 minutes so how far can she ride her bike in 24 minutes. You do:
_2_. 2x 4 = 8 so she would be able to
12) 24. Do 8 miles I. 24 minutes.
35=x
180-75=105
X+2x=3x
105=3x
X=35
7 1/12 - 2 3/4
First we have to change mixed numbers to improper fractions
7 1/12 = 7 x 12 + 1 = 85 85/12
2 3/4 = 2 x 4 + 3 = 11 11/4
85/12 - 11/4
Now we need to find the LCD (least common denominator) for 4 and 12
4, 8, 12
12
12 is our LCD, so it becomes our new denominator
85/12 would stay the same because the denominator wasn't changed but for 11/4 our new denominator is 12, so our fraction will change.
11/4 = 33/12
4 goes into 12, 3 times. What you do to the bottom, you do to the top.
3 x 11 = 33
3 x 4 = 12
So, our new fraction is 33/12. Now we subtract
85/12 - 33/12 = 52/12
Now we convert back to a mixed number
52 ÷ 12 = 4 4/12 reduce
4 1/3
Hope this helps.
