Question

Elena biked 8 miles on Saturday. Use the double number line to answer the questions. Be prepared to explain your reasoning. A) What is 100% of her Saturday distance? B) On Sunday, she biked 75% of her Saturday distance. How far was that? C) On Monday, she biked 125% of her Saturday distance. How far was that?

Answer 1

I agree with the one above me

Explanation:

Answer 2

A - Since Elena biked for 8 miles on Saturday, 100% of her distance traveled was 8 miles.

B - Now, on Sunday she traveled 75% of what she traveled on Saturday, which arises from the following calculation:

8 x 0.75 = X

6 = X

So on Sunday she traveled 6 miles.

C - Finally, on Monday she traveled 125% of what she traveled on Saturday, which arises from the following calculation:

8 x 1.25 = X

10 = X

So on Monday she traveled 10 miles.
