Hi there!
From this problem we can pull out some key information and remove any excess.
- The trail is 1/4 of a mile long.
- Angelo rode around the trail 8 times.
- Angelo claims he rode 8/4 miles.
- Teresa claims he rode 2 miles.
From that we know that if Angelo rode around the trail 8 times and the trail is 1/4 a mile, he in total rode 8/4 of a mile.
However, Teresa claims he rode 2 miles!
And the answer is... they're both correct!
Angelo did indeed ride 8/4 miles however that is equivalent to 2 miles so they are both in the right.
First you cancel 7 and 28, and 3 and 9, so that leaves you with 4/3 x 15/17, then you cancel 3 and 15 so you get 4x5/17 which should give you 20/17!
