Question

Austin is on his way home in his car. His drive is 30 miles long. He has finished five-sixths of the drive so far. How far has he driven?

Answer 1

30 miles is two-thirds of x (where x is the total distance)


30 = (2/3)*x


30*3 = 2x
90 = 2x


90/2 = x


45 = x


x = 45


The total length of his drive is 45 miles
