Question

After driving 152 ​km, 4/5 of a trip is completed. How long is the total​ trip? How many more kilometers must be driven to complete the​ trip?

Answer 1

The trip is 190 kilometers long and 38 more kilometers must be driven to complete the trip.

Explanation:

We are given that after driving 152 ​km, 4/5 of a trip is completed and we are to find how long is the total trip and find out how many more kilometers must be driven to complete the​ trip.

Assuming x to be the total kilometer of the trip:

Total kilometers of the trip =
`(4)/(5)` ×
`x=152`

`x=(152*5)/(4) =` 190 kilometers

So, 190 - 152 = 38 more kilometers must be driven to complete the​ trip.

Answer 2

1. Total Trip Distance = 190 kilometers

2. To complete the trip, 38 more kilometers left

Explanation:

1.

Let total trip be x kilometers.

So we can say

"152 is
`(4)/(5)` of total" --- this into equation is:

`152=(4)/(5)x\\x=(152)/((4)/(5))\\x=190`

Total trip is 190 km.

2.

Since already driven 152, to complete 190, you have to drive
`190-152=38` kilometers more.

So, 38 more kilometers to complete the trip.
