Mike asked his mother for a light for his new bike. Mom says that once Mike rides the bike 2(10)4 meters, she will buy the light. Mike rides the bike 2(10)3 meters every day. How many days will it take Mike to ride a total of 2(10)4 meters?

Respuesta :

Answer:

It will take to Mike 10 days to ride 2x10⁴ meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that Mike rides the bike 2x10³ meters every day, so the distance (D) is:

[tex] D = 2 \cdot 10^{3} \frac{m}{d} [/tex]   (1)

To find the number of days that will take Mike to ride a distance of 2x10⁴ meters, we need to find "t" in the following reaction:

[tex] 2 \cdot 10^{4} m = 2 \cdot 10^{3} \frac{m}{d}*t [/tex]  

[tex] t = \frac{2 \cdot 10^{4} m}{2 \cdot 10^{3} \frac{m}{d}} = 10 days [/tex]

Therefore, it will take to Mike 10 days to ride 2x10⁴ meters.

I hope it helps you!
