Question

Martha biked 55 miles per day and Enrico biked 145 miles every 3 days. After 6 days, which statement correctly compares the number of miles they each biked

Answer 1

After 6 days Martha biked 330 miles, while Enrico biked 290 miles.

Explanation:

i. Martha bikes 55 miles per day.

So that after 6 days, Martha would have covered;

55 miles x 6 = 330 miles

After 6 days, Martha would have biked 330 miles.

ii. Enrico bikes 145 miles every 3 days.

Then after 6 days, Enrico would have covered;

`(6 days)/(3 days)` x 145 miles

= 2 x 145 miles

= 290 miles

After 6 days, Enrico would have biked 290 miles.

After 6 days Martha biked 330 miles, while Enrico biked 290 miles.
