A community bike ride offers a short 5.7 mile ride for children and families. The short ride is followed by a long ride, 5 2/3 Times as long as the short ride, for adults. If a woman bikes the short ride with her children and then the long ride with her friends, how many miles does she write all together?

Please give me the answer and please tell me how did you get it, thank you :-) :-)

Respuesta :

First multiply 5.7 by 5 2/3 to figure out how long the adult ride is: 5.7/1 X 17/3= 32.3. Then add the adult ride and the children's ride together: 5.7+32.3=38 (7+3=10 which adds 1 to the whole number). The mom would ride 38 miles :)
