Question

A bike trail is 24 miles long and is divided that are each 2/3 mile long. The equation 2/3d=24 can be used to find the number of sections along the bike trail. Which process can be used to find the number of sections?

Answer 1

Given

The equation that can be used to find the number of sections is:

$\frac{2}{3}d\text{ = 24}$

To find d, we need to divide 24 by 2/3:

$\begin{gathered} d\text{ = 24 }\div\text{ }\frac{2}{3} \\ d\text{ = 24 }\times\text{ }\frac{3}{2} \\ d\text{ = 36} \end{gathered}$

Hence, to calculate d, we need to multiply 24 by 3 and divide by 2 (option D)
