Question

Carlos biked 24 miles and ran 6 miles. Write the ratio of the distance Carlos biked to the total distance.

Answer 1

What? Do you need more help? You just need to ask.

Answer 2

How can I keep replying to you I can only reply 1 time help!!!!!
This is my first time having this

Answer 3

I don't know why you can only reply one time. But, \[24:30=3:5\]

Answer 4

oh ok

Answer 5

Do you get how the ratios work?

Answer 6

not really

Answer 7

Well ,to get the total, 24+6=30
Now, it wants the ratio of biked miles to total. The biked miles are 24, and the total is 30. So, you get 24:30.

But, 24:30 can be simplified to 3:5

Answer 8

could it just be 30:24

Answer 9

Do you get it now? And, thanks for the medal, now I'm at SS 77

Answer 10

Can you give me a medal I do not even have one please

Answer 11

Not, because that's total to biked miles. Look at it this way,
It wanted:
biked:total, not total:biked

Answer 12

So, it could only be 24:30 or 3:5.

Answer 13

thanks for the medal and on my test my options are not 24:30

Answer 14

What are the test options?

Answer 15

6:24
3:12
30:24
4:5

Answer 16

Oh, I messed up on the simplifying, it's 4:5, not 3:5. But, the 24:30 is still right. So, the correct answer is 4:5

Answer 17

Sorry about that.

Answer 18

thanks
