Question

Natalie is entering a bicycle race for charity. Her mother pledges $1.50 for every .5 miles. If Natalie bikes 30 miles, how much will her mother donate?

Answer 1

Natalie's mother will donate $90 to charity if Natalie bikes 30 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Natalie bikes 30 miles, and her mother pledges $1.50 for every 0.5 miles, we can calculate the donation amount by first determining how many 0.5-mile segments there are in 30 miles. We do this by dividing 30 miles by 0.5:

30 miles ÷ 0.5 mile/segment = 60 segments

Now, we multiply the number of segments by the pledge amount per segment:

60 segments × $1.50/segment = $90

Therefore, Natalie's mother will donate $90 to charity.
