To find out how far Lindsey rode on Sunday, we need to know how much she rode on Saturday and the ratio between the two days. From the given information, it states that Lindsey rode her bike on Sunday 3 times as much as she did on Saturday.
First, let's determine how far Lindsey rode on Sunday. We can do this by multiplying the distance she rode on Saturday (3 miles) by the ratio of Sunday's distance to Saturday's distance.
