To solve this problem, we need to find the ratio between the time it takes Kasey to bike the Hammerside Trail to the time it takes her to bike the Woodlawn Trail.
Step 1: Convert the given times into fractions.
Kasey takes 1 2/3 hours to bike the Woodlawn Trail, which can be written as 5/3 (since 1 hour is equivalent to 3/3).
Kasey takes 3 5/6 hours to bike the Hammerside Trail, which can be written as 23/6 (since 3 hours is equivalent to 18/6).
Step 2: Calculate the ratio.
To find the ratio, divide the time for the Hammerside Trail by the time for the Woodlawn Trail:
(23/6) ÷ (5/3)
To divide fractions, we invert the divisor (the second fraction) and multiply:
(23/6) × (3/5)
Multiply the numerators and the denominators:
(23 × 3) / (6 × 5) = 69/30
Step 3: Simplify the fraction.
Since 69 and 30 are both divisible by 3, we can simplify the fraction:
69/30 = 23/10
Therefore, it takes Kasey 23/10 as long to bike the Hammerside Trail than the Woodlawn Trail.
Step 4: Convert the fraction to a mixed number, if needed.
The answer can be expressed as a mixed number as well.
23/10 = 2 3/10.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 2 3/10.
