Today, a bicycle rider rode her bike 5 1/2 miles. Yesterday, she rode 6 miles. What fraction of the total of the two rides is the longer ride?

Respuesta :

That of yesterday is longer than that of today

Answer:

[tex]\texttt{Fraction of the total of the two rides is the longer ride}=\frac{12}{23}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Today, a bicycle rider rode her bike 5 1/2 miles. Yesterday, she rode 6 miles.

[tex]\texttt{Total miles rode =}5\frac{1}{2}+6=\frac{11}{2}+\frac{12}{2}=\frac{23}{2}miles[/tex]

We need to find fraction of the total of the two rides is the longer ride.

Longer ride = 6 miles

[tex]\texttt{Fraction of the total of the two rides is the longer ride}=\frac{6}{\frac{23}{2}}\\\\\texttt{Fraction of the total of the two rides is the longer ride}=\frac{12}{23}[/tex]
