Question

Sandra bikes 1/4 of a trail that is 4 1/2 miles long how many miles does she bike

Answer 1

To find how many miles she bike we multiply the amount she biked by the total length of the track:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(4)\cdot4(1)/(2)=(1)/(4)\cdot(9)/(2) \\ =(9)/(8) \\ =1(1)/(8) \end{gathered}`

Therefore she biked 1 1/8 of a mile or 1.125 miles.
