Ry rode his bike for a total of 41 minutes. before lunch, he rode for 1 minute less than 5 times the number of minutes he rode after lunch. how many minutes did ry ride before lunch?

Ry ride 34 minutes before lunch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total time Ry rode his bike = 41 min.

We have to find out how many minutes Ry ride before lunch.

Solution,

Let the number of minutes Ry ride after lunch be 'x'.

Since the question said, he rode for 1 minute less than 5 times the number of minutes he rode after lunch.

So we can frame it as;

Number of ride before lunch =

Now, total time Ry rode his bike is the sum of number of ride before lunch and number of ride after lunch.

So we can frame it as;

On adding both side by '1' using addition property, we get;

Now using division property and divide both side by '6', we get;

Number of minute rode after lunch = 7 minutes.

Number of minute rode before lunch =

Hence Ry ride 34 minutes before lunch.
