Question

After covering 4/5 of the journey, James found that he has traveled 48 km. How much of the journey is still left?

Answer 1

12 km

Explanation:

Let the total distance to be traveled = x

`\sf (4)/(5) \ of \ the \ journey = 48\\\\`

`\sf (4)/(5)*x = 48\\\\`

`x = 48*(5)/(4)`

= 12 * 5

x = 60 Km

Distance still to traveled = 60 - 48 = 12Km
