Stuart rides around a lake. The perimeter of the lake is 60 miles. Solve each problem about Stuart's bike ride. For Problems 8–10, use fraction bars to represent the problem, and write an equation.

• 6 On Monday, Stuart biked 3 4 3 fourths of the way around the lake. Without finding out exactly how many miles he rode, did he ride more or less than 60 miles? How do you know?

• 7 On Wednesday, Stuart biked 1 1 4 1 , and 1 fourth times the distance around the lake. Without finding out exactly how many miles he rode, did he ride more or less than 60 miles? How do you know?

• 8 On Thursday, Stuart only had a short time to bike, so he biked 1 3 1 third of the way around the lake. How many miles did he ride?

• 9 On Friday, Stuart biked 5 6 5 sixths of the way around the lake. How many miles did he ride?
