Question

Suzy is competing in a 651 mile long-distance bicycle race. In the first 3 and 1/2 hours she completed 54 and 1/4 miles. If she plans to ride 7 hours per day, how many days will it take for her to complete the race at that pace?

Answer 1

Answer: 6 days

Explanation:

1. Multiply 54 1/4 by 2 (We are multiplying my 2 because 3 1/2 hours is half of 7 hours, so you have to multiply to see how much Suzy rode for 7 hours.

2. Now, divide 651 by the answer you get in step 1 to get your answer (simplify if necessary.)

=> 54 1/4 * 2 = 108 1/2

=> 651 / 108 1/2 = 6

I might be wrong but I hope this helps :)
