Beth rode her bike for the following distance each day

●on Monday she rode 3 1/4 miles
●on Tuesday she rode 2/3 the distance she rode on Monday
●on Wednesday she rode twice the distance she rode on Wednesday
●on Thursday she rode 3/4 the distance she rode on Wednesday

Beth goal is to ride 15 miles altogether has she achieved her goal if not how far does she need to ride the bike to reach her goal

Answer 1

Monday: 3 1/4 miles
Tuesday: (3 1/4)(2/3) = 2 1/6 miles
Wednesday: (2 1/6)(2) = 4 1/3 miles
Thursday: (4 1/3)(3/4) = 3 1/4 miles

Add them all up: 13 miles

She has not reached her goal, she needs to ride her bike 2 more miles to reach her goal.
