Question

Michaela rode her bike on 14 2/3 mile trail. She stopped every 3 1/5 miles for a drink of water . Issac and Jake estimated how many times Michaela stopped.

Answer 1

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The rail =
`14(2)/(3) miles`

She stops after every
`3(1)/(5)miles` for a drink.

The number of times she stopped for a drink =
`(14(2)/(3))/(3(1)/(5))`

Change the fractions to improper fractions

`((44)/(3))/((16)/(5))`

Change the division operation to multiplication, and then flip the fraction on your right upside down.

`(44)/(3) * (5)/(16)`

`(44 * 5)/(3 * 16)`

`(220)/(48) = 4.58`

If we approximate this to the nearest whole number, we would have an estimate of 5.

✅Therefore, we can conclude that Michaela stopped 5 times.

The estimate given by Issac and Jake is omitted in the question. However, the person who got an estimate of 5 is the person who made a better estimate.
