Question

Noelle biked twice as may miles as Leila. Adding 2 to the number of miles

Noelle biked and dividing by 3 gives the number of miles Dani biked. Dani
biked 18 miles. How many miles did Leila bike?

Answer 1

Leila biked 28 miles.

Explanation:

So the easiest way to go about this is to do it backwards

Let's start with Dani:

he biked 18 miles

Noelle:

Dani's biking was

1.) 3x slower than Noelle's - we need to do the opposite to find Noelle's (18 * 3 = 54)

2.) 2 less than Noelle's - we do the opposite again (54 + 2 = 56)

Noelle therefore biked 56 miles

Leila:

If Noelle biked twice as many miles as Leila, that means that Leila biked half as many miles as Noelle

Noelle biked 56 miles and half of that is 28
