Question

kira rode her bicycle 3 3/8 miles on Friday and 1 2/8 miles on saturday. which describes an equation that could be used to find how much farther kira rode on friday?

Answer 1

x=3 3/8=+1 2/8 father rode that

Answer 2

`3(3)/(8)-x=1(2)/(8)`

Explanation:

Given,

The miles travelled by Kira on friday =
`3(3)/(8)`

Let on friday kira travelled x miles farther than she travelled on saturday,

So, the distance travelled by kira on saturday = distance travelled on friday - x

`=3(3)/(8)-x`

According to the question,

`3(3)/(8)-x=1(2)/(8)`

Which is the required equation.
