The distance from Jackie's house to her school is 0.8 miles. Jakie rides her bike 0.7 of the distance and walks the rest of the way. How far does Jakie ride her bike to school? How far does Jakie walk? Please explain you answer
To find the distance Jackie rides her bike, we multiply the total distance from her house to school (0.8 miles) by the fraction of the distance she rides (0.7):
0.8 miles * 0.7 = <<0.8*0.7=0.56>>0.56 miles
So Jackie rides her bike for 0.56 miles.
To find the distance Jackie walks, we subtract the distance she rides from the total distance:
0.8 miles - 0.56 miles = <<0.8-0.56=0.24>>0.24 miles
So Jackie walks for 0.24 miles.
