Question

A 10

10
-mile bike race is divided into 4
4
equal sections.

Which equation shows how to find the number of miles in each section?

Answer 1

The equation representing Number of miles in each section is
`(10)/(4)`

Total Number of miles in each section is 2.5 miles.

Explanation:

Given:

Total Miles bike race = 10 Miles

Number of sections = 4

Now we know that sections are divided in equal parts;

So Number of miles in each section can be calculated by dividing total miles of bike race with Number of section race.

The Number of miles in each section =
`\frac{\textrm{Total distance in miles}}{\textrm{Number of sections}}`

Number of miles in each section =
`(10)/(4)`

The equation representing Number of miles in each section is
`(10)/(4)`

Solving the above equation we get;

Number of miles in each section =
`(10)/(4)= 2.5 \ miles`

Hence Total Number of miles in each section is 2.5 miles.
