last month joe biked 11times as many miles as lee together they biked a total 156miles how many miles did joe bike last month

Let L = miles ridden by Lee.

L + 11L = 156

12L = 156

L = 13

To find out how many miles Joe biked last month, we need to solve the equation. Here's how we can do that:

Let's assume that Lee biked x miles last month. According to the problem, Joe biked 11 times as many miles as Lee. So, Joe biked 11x miles last month.

Together, Joe and Lee biked a total of 156 miles. This can be represented as the sum of their individual distances:

x + 11x = 156

Combining like terms:

12x = 156

To isolate x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 12:

12x/12 = 156/12

Simplifying:

x = 13

So, Lee biked 13 miles last month.

To find out how many miles Joe biked, we can substitute the value of x back into the equation:

Joe's distance = 11x = 11 * 13 = 143

Therefore, Joe biked 143 miles last month.
