Question

Mai biked 7 and 1/4 miles today, and Noah biked 3 5/8 miles. How many times the length of Noah's bike ride was Mai's bike ride?

Answer 1

The distance cover by Mai's bike is 2 time the distance cover by Noah's bike

Explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover by Mai's bike =
`d_1` = 7
`(1)/(4)` miles

I.e
`d_1` =
`(28+1)/(4)` miles

Or,
`d_1` =
`(29)/(4)` miles

The distance cover by Noah's bike =
`d_2` = 3
`(5)/(8)` miles

I.e
`d_2` =
`(24 + 5)/(8)` miles

Or,
`d_2` =
`(29)/(8)` miles

let the number of times that Noah's bike ride was Mai's bike ride = n

So, The distance cover by Mai's bike = n × The distance cover by Noah's bike

Or,
`d_` = n ×
`d_`

Or,
`(29)/(4)` miles = n ×
`(29)/(8)` miles

Or, n =
`((29)/(4))/((29)/(8))`

∴ n =
`(8)/(4)`

I.e n = 2

Hence The distance cover by Mai's bike is 2 time the distance cover by Noah's bike . Answer
