Question

Lily wants to ride her bicycle 43 miles this week. She has already ridden 16 miles. If she rides for 6 more days, what is the average number of miles she would have to ride each day to meet her goal?

Answer 1

4 1/2 miles

43 - 16 = 27 miles remaining

27/6 = 4 3/6 or 4 1/2

43-16= 27 miles.

27÷6= 4.5 miles per day
