Question

Cam rode her bike 5 times as far as Dante did. Dante rode 187 meters farther than Michael did. Cam rode 15.25 Kilometers. How many meters did Michael ride? Explain how you know you got your answer

Answer 1

Let Dante's distant be x, Cam's will be 5x
Given that Cam rode 15.25 km
then
5x=15.25
x=3.05 km

thus Dante rod 3.05 km
but
1 km=1000m
thus
3.05 km=3050 m
But Dante rod 187 m more than Michael, the distance Michael will ride then will be:
3050-187
=2863 m
