Question

Joy decided to ride her bike to visit her friend, Three miles from home her bike got a flat tire and she had to walk the remaining two miles to Justin's home. She could not repair the tire and had to walk all the way home. How many miles did Joy walk than she rode? They got the answer 4 but I am not sure how?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

okay, so she rode 3 miles. Keep that aside

Then she had 2 walk the remaining 2 miles

She had to walk all the way home. So say for example instead of riding she walked 3 miles, then she walked that additional 2 miles. So, 5 miles. Then add the two miles she had to walk to his house. so, she walked 7 miles and rode 3 miles. 7-3= 4 miles. I attached a picture that should hopefully explain it better.

Hope this helps!
