Question

Jada bikes x miles to the park and then bikes a quarter of that distance again. Find the value of c.

Answer 1

Let's begin by identifying key information given to us:

To the park: Jada bikes x miles

From the park: Jada bikes 1/4 of x miles

The value of c (the total distance) is given by:

$\begin{gathered} c=(x+\frac{1}{4}x)miles=1\frac{1}{4}x \\ c=1\frac{1}{4}x\text{ }miles \end{gathered}$
