Question

Dale is riding on a bike course that is miles long. So far, he has ridden miles of the course. What percentage of the course has Dale ridden so far?

Answer 1

40%

Explanation:

Total distance to be covered with the bike ride = 45 miles

Distance covered till now = 18 miles.

Percentage covered =
`(distance \\ covered)/(Total \\ distance)`

Therefore as a percentage it shall be =
`(18)/(45) = 0.4`

Since percentages are presented in whole numbers, the result of division shall be multiplied with 100.

Accordingly, total distance covered in percentage = 0.4
`*` 100 = 40%
