Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:1.5 times.Step-by-step explanation:Givens:Mai biked [tex]6\frac{3}{4} \ mi[/tex]Noah biked [tex]4\frac{1}{2} \ mi[/tex]So, to know how many times the length of Noah's bike ride was Mai's bike ride, we can use the following equation:[tex]6\frac{3}{4} \ mi=x(4\frac{1}{2} \ mi)\\\frac{27}{4}=\frac{9}{2}x\\ x=\frac{54}{36}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5[/tex]Therefore, Mai biked 1.5 times more miles than Noah.
