Question

Jose wanted to ride his bicycle for a distance of 12 miles, but it broke down after he went only 25% of his distance. How many miles did Jose travel on his bike before it broke down?

Answer 1

12 * .25 = 3

Jose went 3 miles before it broke down.

Answer 2

Answer: Jose traveled 3 miles on his bike before it broke down.

Explanation:

Given : Jose wanted to ride his bicycle for a distance = 12 miles

Cycle broke down after he went only 25% of his distance i.e =
`(25)/(100)* 12miles=3miles`

Thus Jose travelled for 3 miles before his bike broke down and he still has (12-3)= 9 miles of his distance to cover.

Thus Jose traveled 3 miles on his bike before it broke down.
