Given :- Belinda went biking on Saturday and rode for 6 4/5 miles. On Sunday she rode for 2/3 of the distance she rode on Saturday.
To Find :- Write and solve an equation that will help you figure out how far Belinda rode on Sunday .
Solution :-
Let us assume that, Belinda rode x km on Sunday .
so,
→ Distance she rode on saturday = 6(4/5) miles = (34/5) miles .
and,
→ Distance she rode on sunday = (2/3) of distance she rode on saturday .
then,
→ x = (2/3) of (34/5)
→ x = (2/3) * (34/5) { Required equation .}
→ x = (68/15)
→ x = 4(8/15) km (Ans.)
Hence, she rode 4(8/15) km on sunday.
