Question

Miles is planning to spend 2/3 as many hours bicycling this week as he did last week. Is Miles going to spend more hours or fewer hours bicycling this weekind than last week?

Answer 1

Fewer hours

Explanation:

2/3 is a fraction and shows the parts of a whole. This means that 2/3 of last week is fewer than last week. Last week is the whole for example 15 hours. This week will be 2/3 or 2/3*15 = 10 hours. This week will be less than last week.
