Question

They have completed 60% and traveled 30 miles how long is the entire trip?

Answer 1

Hello Ari,

60% of the trip is 30 miles. We can set up an equation for that: 0.60 x (trip) = 30

Divide both sides by 0.60: trip = 30/0.60 = 50

So the entire trip is 50 miles long.

Let's verify that it's the right answer: 0.60 * 50 = 30 miles. Yay!
