The problem presented in the image asks how many times the length of Anne's bike ride compares to Noah's bike ride, given:

• Anne biked $7 \frac{1}{2}$ miles.
• Noah biked $4 \frac{2}{7}$ miles.

To solve this, we need to divide Anne's distance by Noah's distance.

Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

• Anne's distance: $7 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{15}{2}$
• Noah's distance: $4 \frac{2}{7} = \frac{30}{7}$

Step 2: Set up the division of fractions.

$\frac{15}{2} \div \frac{30}{7}$

Step 3: Multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

$\frac{15}{2} \times \frac{7}{30} = \frac{15 \times 7}{2 \times 30} = \frac{105}{60}$

Step 4: Simplify the fraction.

$\frac{105}{60} = \frac{7}{4}$

Thus, Anne's bike ride is $\frac{7}{4}$ times as long as Noah's bike ride.

The correct answer is $\frac{7}{4}$ or 1.75, which is equivalent to the selected option "7/4 as far."
