Andrea biked `3\frac{1}{2}` miles on Monday. On Tuesday, she biked `5\frac{1}{4}` miles. How many times as far did Andrea bike on Tuesday?

Answer 1

monday 3 1/2 =7/2 = 3.5

tuesday 5 1/4 = 21/4 = 5.25

(21/4)/(7/2) = (21/4)(2/7)=21/14= 3/2 = 1 1/2= 1.5

5.25/3.5 = 1.5 times as many miles on tuesday as monday

1.5 x 3.5 = 5.25
