Question

Jack is learning to ride a bicycle. in his first try, he rode for 4/100 mile, the second time he rode for 6/100 mile. In the next two tries, he rode successfully for 2/10 mile and 3/10 mile.

What is the total distance, written as a fraction, that Jack rode the bike in four tries?
What decimal number is equal to the total distances that jack rode his bike?

Answer 1

`77`
77/193÷8=77 Ea-9

Answer 2

In the question , it is given that Jack is learning to ride a bicycle. in his first try, he rode for 4/100 mile, the second time he rode for 6/100 mile. In the next two tries, he rode successfully for 2/10 mile and 3/10 mile.

We have to find the total distance , and for that we have to add all the distances he rode, that is

`(4)/(100) + (6)/(100) + (2)/(10)+(3)/(10)`

Making all the denominator equal, by multiplying the last two numerators and denominators by 10

`(4)/(100) + (6)/(100) + (20)/(100)+(30)/(100)`

Now since the denominators are same, so we have to add the numerators, that is

`(4+6+20+30)/(100) = (60)/(100) = (3)/(5) miles`

In the second part, we have to find the total distance travelled in decimal , which is 0.6 miles .
