Brianna and Maddie rode their bikes on Saturday. Maddy rode twice as much as Brianna. Together they rode for 162 minutes. How many minutes did each girl ride?

Respuesta :

Answer: brianna rode for 54 minutes and maddie rode for 108 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the time for which brianna rode be = x

(since maddie rode twice as brianna then,)

let the time for which maddie rode be = 2x

(together they rode for 162 minutes. so,)

x + 2x = 162

3x = 162

x = 162/3

=>x = 54

=>2x = 54*2 = 108

hope it helps
