Oh wait, how many miles did Carlos bike?

OpenStudy (xxstudyingstuffxx):

24

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes..and what was the total?

OpenStudy (xxstudyingstuffxx):

Carlos biked 24 miles and ran 6 miles. 24 + 6 is 30. He went a total of 30 miles, so he biked 24 to 30, 24:30, and 24/30. Simplify and the answer is 4 to 5, 4:5, and 4/5.
