Question

PLEASE HELP!
Which equation can be used to solve this problem?

Juanita hiked 5 1/4 miles on Saturday. That was 3/4 as far as Laura hiked.
How far did Laura hike?

A. m= 3/4 times 5 1/4

B. 3/4m=5 1/4

C. 3/4 divided by m=5 1/4

D. m minus 3/4=5 1/4

Answer 1

help? @Crissy15

Answer 2

miles Laura hiked is represented by " m "

3/4m = 5 1/4
3/4m = 21/4
m = (21/4) / (3/4)
m = 21/4 * 4/3
m = 7

check..
3/4(7) = 21/4
21/4 = 21/4 (correct)

So Laura hiked 7 miles and Juanita hiked 3/4 of 7 miles which equals 5 1/4 miles
