Complete question :

Belinda went biking on Saturday and rode for 6 4/5 miles. On Sunday she rode for 2/3 of the distance she rode on Saturday. Write and solve an equation that will help you figure out how far Belinda rode on Sunday

Answer:

4.5333 miles

Explanation:

Number of miles biked on Saturday = 6 4/5 miles

Miles on Sunday = 2/3 of miles biked on Saturday

To obtain the distance biked on Sunday :

Fraction of miles biked on Sunday * miles biked on Saturday

Miles biked on Sunday = 2/3 * 6 4/5

Miles biked on Sunday = 2/3 * 34/5

Miles biked on Sunday = (2 * 34) / (3 * 5) = 68/15 = 4.5333 miles
