Question

Karla rode her bicycle 135 miles in 9 weeks, riding the same distance each week. Brad rode his bicycle 102 miles in 6 weeks, riding the same distance each week. Which statement correctly compares the number of miles per week they rode?

Answer 1

Answer:

Karla's 15 miles per week to Brad's 17 miles per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we would need find the total number of miles each individual rides per week. We do this by dividing the total miles ridden by the number of weeks it took for each individual like so...

Karla:  135 / 9 = 15 miles per week

Brad:   102 / 6 = 17 miles per week

Finally, the comparison would be

Karla's 15 miles per week to Brad's 17 miles per week.
