Angelo rode his bike around a bike trail that was 1/4 of a mile long. He rode his bike around the trail 8 times. Angelo says he rode a total of 8/4 miles. Teresa says he is wrong and that he actually rode 2 miles. Who is correct?

Answer 1

If you would like to know who is correct, you can calculate this using the following steps:

8 times 1/4 of a mile = 8 * 1/4 of a mile = 8/4 miles = 2 miles

Result: Angelo rode a total of 8/4 miles which is equal to 2 miles. They are both correct.
