Question

For 4 weeks in June, Cameron biked 3 1/4 miles each week and swam 2 1/2 miles each week. For 3 weeks in July, he biked 4 3/4 miles each week and swam 3 1/2 miles each week

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

For 4 weeks in June, Cameron biked 3 1/4 miles each week and swam 2 1/2 miles each week.

For 3 weeks in July, he biked 4 3/4 miles each week and swam 3 1/2 miles each week.

We need to find how much greater was the total distance Cameron bike and swim in July compared to the total distance he bike in swim in June.

In July, total distance is ,

$4\dfrac{3}{4}\times 3+3\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\\\\= \dfrac{19}{4}\times 3+\dfrac{7}{2}\times 3\\\\=24.75\ \text{miles}$

In June, total distance is :

$=4\times 3\dfrac{1}{4}+4\times 2\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{13}{4}\times 4+\dfrac{5}{2}\times 4\\\\=23\ \text{miles}$

Hence, in June total distance is 23 miles and in July total distance is 24.75 miles.
