answer choices

2/3

2

1/2

3/2

Answer 1

2 times

Explanation:

Mai biked
`7(1)/(4) = (29)/(4)` miles today and Noah biked
`3(5)/(8) = (29)/(8)` miles today.

We are asked how many times the length of Noah's bike ride was Mai's bike ride.

Therefore, the length of Mai's bike ride was
`((29)/(4) / (29)/(8))  = 2` times the length of Noah's bike ride.

Therefore, we will take option B will be correct. ( Answer )
