Question 830358: Ruben rode his bike 6 1/4 miles on Saturday and 8 1/2 miles on Sunday. He rode for a total of 88 1/2 minutes for both days combined. How long does it take him to ride a mile on his bike?
Total miles = 6 1/4 + 8 2/4 = 14 3/4 miles
Speed (rate) = ((14 3/4) / (88 1/2)) = ((352/4) / (59/4)) = (352/4) * (4/59) =
(352*4)/(4*59) = (1408/236) miles/minute

((14 3/4) / (88 1/2)) =1/6
one mile in 6 minutes
((14 3/4) / (88 1/2)) =
( (59/4)/(177/2) ) = ( (59/4)/(354/4) )=59/354=1/6
