Answer 1

Ella rode her bike for ¼ of a mile before getting a flat tire.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how far Ella rode her bike before it had a flat tire. The total distance between her home and school is ¾ of a mile, and it is stated that she only rode ½ of the way before continuing the journey on foot. To find out how far she rode, you multiply the total distance by the fraction of the journey completed on the bike.

To calculate the distance Ella rode:

• Total distance to school: ¾ mile.
• Distance ridden on the bike: ¼ mile (¾ * ½).

Therefore, Ella rode her bike for ¼ of a mile before getting a flat tire.
