Question

Gianna's family took a road trip. Gianna slept through the last 44% of the trip. If Gianna fell asleep after they had travelled 280 miles, what was the total length of the trip?

Answer 1

rip gigi

Explanation:

500 miles

Answer 2

500 miles

Explanation: 100-44 is 56, so 280 is equal to 56% of the trip. 280/56 is equal to 5. Therefore 5 is 1%, so if we multiply the 5 x 100 there we go, that's 100% of the trip. Not how your teacher told you to do it, but its the right answer.
