Answer 1

The required distance is 147 m.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Renee and Mike are skateboarding the ratio of the distance that Renee boards to the distance Mike boards 5 to 3

This can be written as:

`(Renee )/(Mike ) =(5)/(3)`

It is given that Renee boards 245 m.

Substitute the respective values in the above equation.

`(245)/(Mike ) =(5)/(3)`

`Mike =(245* 3)/(5)`

`Mike =49* 3`

`Mike =147`

Hence, the required distance is 147 m.
