Responses

8.6 km

13.9 km

16.1 km

17.65 km

Answer 1

Explanation:

The answer would be 13.9, if you add 12.35 to 3.75 you get 16.1, then 16.1 added to 13.9 equals 30

Answer 2

Answer: She needs to ride 13.9 more kilometers on her bike to finish the race.

Explanation:

==> 30 = 3.75 + 12.35 + x

Take 16.1 from both sides:

==> 30 = 16.1 + x

==> 30 = 13.9km
