Question

Emily is entering a bicycle race for charity. Her mother pledges $0.60 for every 0.5 mile she bikes. If Emily bikes 14 miles, how much will her mother donate?

Answer 1

Answer:$16.8

Step-by-step explanation:

14/0.5=28

28*0.60

=16.8

Answer 2

$16.80

Explanation:

To find out how many miles Emily's mom is going to pay for her, we do

14 miles/.5 miles=28

Emily gets paid every .5 miles, so you divide the amount of miles she bikes to find the amount of payments her mom will make.

Then, you take the 28 payments her mom will make and multiply it by how much she will pay Emily ( $0.60)

28*0.60= 16.80

Emily earns $16.80
