Question

The bike path around the park near my house is 2/3 of a mile long. If I want to bike 10 miles, how many times would I have to bike that path?

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

You want to find n such that ...

n×(2/3 mi) = 10 mi

Divide by 2/3 mi:

n = (10 mi)/(2/3 mi) = 10·3/2 = 15

You would have to bike the path 15 times to bike 10 miles.
