Question

Meg and Tanner take a road trip together where they take turns driving. The ratio of the number of miles that Meg drives to the number of miles that Tanner drives is 4:3. If Meg drives 112 miles, what was the length of the trip?

Answer 1

Explanation:

`(Meg)/(Tanner)` =
`(4)/(3)`

total dist. driven = dist. Meg drove + dist. Tanner drove

Meg = 112

Tanner = x or how far did Tanner drive?

`(112)/(x)` =
`(4)/(3)`

`(3)/(4)` * 112 = x

84 =x so Tanner drove 84 miles

total driven = 112 + 84

total driven = 196 :)
