Question

Clayton biked 3/8 of the 14.5 miles between his house and the beach, How many miles does he still need to bike before he reaches the beach?

Answer 1

`9.0625` miles

Explanation:

Given: Clayton bikes 3/8 of 14.5 miles.

`3/8 * 14.5/1 = 43.5/8 = 5.4375` miles biked

Left to bike to beach: `14.4 - 5.4375 = 9.0625` miles

OR

`3/8` biked, means `5/8` left to bike:

`5/8 * 14.5/1 = 72.5/8 = 9.0625` miles
