Answer:

25 is the total length

Explanation:

Distance driven = 15

Which Is 3/5 of the way home

Total length of drive

The unknown = x which is the total length of his drive

From the statement in this question 15 is three-fifth of c

So we have this equation:

(3/5)x = 15

We divide both sides by (5/3) so that x can stand on its own

(3/5)(5/3)x = 15(5/3)

(15/15)x = 75/3

x = 25

The total length of the drive is 25
