Question

Dana rode her bike for 5 miles on Wednesday. On Thursday, she biked 4 1/3 times as far ason Wednesday. How many miles did Dana bike on Thursday?fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

Answer 1

First, let's express the mixed number as a fraction:

`4\text{ }(1)/(3)=(4\cdot3+1)/(3)=(13)/(3)`

She rode her bike for 5 miles on wednesday and on thursday she biked 13/3 times as far as on wednesday, so:

5 miles * (13/3) =

`5*(13)/(3)=(65)/(3)\approx21.667miles`
