Problema Solution
a bicycle path that is 4/5 mile long is marked in tenths of a mile. If you bicycle 2/3 of the path and then stop for a break, how many markers will you pass?
Answer provided by our tutors
on the bicycle path of 4/5 miles there will be
(4/5):(1/10) + 1 = 9 markers assuming that there is 1 marker at the start position
the length of the bicycled path is (2/3)*(4/5) = 8/15 miles
(8/15):(1/10) + 1 = 80/15 + 1 = 5.33 + 1 = 6.33 > 6
i will pass by 6 markers (counting the marker at the start position).
