Rose lives 3/4 of a mile from her cousin. One day she rode her bike to her cousin's house. When she got 2/5 of the way there, her bike chain broke and she had to walk the rest of the way. What part of a mile did Rose go on her bike before it broke?

Answer: 3/10 of a mile

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to multiply the 2/5 of the way that she travelled on her bike before it broke by the total distance (3/4 of a mile)

2/5 x 3/4 = 3/10 of a mile

She travelled 3/10 of a mile on her bike before it broke

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
