Today, a bicycle rider rode her bike 5 1/2 miles to raise money for her school. Yesterday, she rode 6 1/4 miles her grandfather said he would give her 2$ for every mile she rode. How much money did she earn?

.125 or 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is looking for the difference divided by the long ride. The long ride is 6 1/4 miles, so now we need to find the difference.

In order to do this, we take the larger distance and subtract the smaller distance.

We would take (Tip: Use decimals when you can. They are easier to work with ) 6.25 - 5.5 and we get .75 or 3/4 of a mile.

Now, we put .75 over 6.25 and simplify.

.125 or 1/8
