Julie is driving to her mother's house and has already traveled 24.6 miles. if Julie has traveled 30% of the total distance, then what is the total distance Julie will travel to get to her mother's house?
24.6 miles = 30% of the trip
And you want 100% of the trip
So take 10/3 ( 100% divided by 30%) and multiply it by you current miles.
Answer is 82.
Julie is driving to her mother's house and has already traveled 24.6 miles. if Julie has traveled 30% of the total distance, then what is the total distance Julie will travel to get to her mother's house?
Let the total distance=D, then
.30D=24.6 divide both sides by .30
D=24.6/.30
D=82 miles being the total distance.
