Question

Jason begins at the start of a path and rides his bike 11 1/2 miles on the path

The path is 12 1/4 miles long

Enter the distance in miles Jason must ride to reach the end of the path.

Answer 1

Jason has to ride 0.75 i.e.
`(3)/(4)` miles to reach the end of the path.

Explanation:

Jason begins at the start of a path and rides his bike
`11(1)/(2)` miles on the path . The path is
`12(1)/(4)` miles long.

Therefore, the path is 12.25 miles long and Jason rides the distance of 11.5 miles.

We are asked to determine the distance that Jason must ride to reach the end.

Hence, Jason has to ride (12.25 - 11.5) = 0.75 i.e.
`(3)/(4)` miles to reach the end of the path. (Answer)
