From his house, Jason rode his bike 11 miles to the post office. He then rode in the same direction to the park, which is ¾ of a mile
from the post office. How far did Jason ride?
1. To the right, draw a picture to represent the problem
to be solved. Let x = the distance Jason rode from
his house to the park.
2. Write an equation that represents
this distance. Then solve for x.
