Question

Berks family drove 36 miles in 50 minutes which was 48% of the distance to his grandmother's house what was the total distance in miles from Kirby grandmother's house

Answer 1

Any ideas on where to start?

Answer 2

36 = 48% of x
Consider this equation.
36 is the total miles
48% of distance to grandmas house. We need to find the total distance so you would need to solve for x here.

Answer 3

36 divided 48% = 75miles from Kirby to his Grandmother’s house.

Answer 4

so just use the rule of 3 simple and write in this way

36 miles mean 48%
x mean 100% cross multiplie and calcule the x value

x = 36*100/48 = ?
