Abdul is on his way home in his car. He has driven 24 miles so far, which is three-fourths of the way home. What is the total length of his drive?

Answer 1

There are a couple of ways to see the answer to the problem:

(3/4) x = 24

Multiply by 4/3

x = 24*4/3 = 32

of If 3/4 of the distance is 24,

then 1/4 of the distance is = 24/3 = 8

and 4/4 of the distance = the distance = 4*8 = 32
