Question

Cam rode her bike 5 times as far as Dante did. Dante rode 197 meters farther than Michael did. Cam rode 10.25 kilometers. How many meters did Michael ride? Complete the explanation of how you got your answer.

Answer 1

1853metre

Explanation:

Taking Danta distant as x

While Cam's will be 5x because he cover distance 5 time more than dante

I.e. Cam rode 10.25 km, to get what dante covers

5x=10.25

x=10.25/5

x=2.05km

Dante rode 2.05 km as calculated above

We must remember 1km=1000m. Hence, 2.05 km=2050 m

From the question, "Dante rod 197 m more than Michael", the distance Michael will ride then will be:

2050 metre - 197 metre

=1853 metre

Michael have rode 2863 metre
