Kirsten and Molly are on a 3-day bike ride. The entire route is 156 miles. On the first day, they biked 64 miles. On the second day, they biked 45 miles. How many miles do they have left to bike on the third day?
Answers
The number of miles they have left to bike on the third day will be 47 miles.
Explanation
On the first day, they biked 64 miles and on the second day, they biked 45 miles.
So, the total distance they biked in two days
The distance of the entire route is 156 miles.
For finding the number of miles they have left to bike on the third day, we need to subtract the distance traveled in two days from the total distance of the entire route.
So, the number of miles they have left to bike on the third day
It is a three day trip with a bike with the total of 156 miles
On the first day, Kristen and Molly covered 64 miles
On the second day, Kristen and Molly covered 45 miles
Hence, the total distance covered in the first two days are 64 + 45 = 109 miles
On the third day, they have to cover 156 – 109 = 47 miles.
It is a three day trip with a bike with the total of 156 miles
On the first day, Kristen and Molly covered 64 miles
On the second day, Kristen and Molly covered 45 miles
Hence, the total distance covered in the first two days are 64 + 45 = 109 miles
On the third day, they have to cover 156 – 109 = 47 miles.
