Question

Bob and Cheryl are taking a road trip that is 188.3 miles. Bob drove 5/7 of the total

Distance. How many miles did Bob drive?

Answer 1

`x-\ distance\ drove\ by\ Bob\\\\ y-\ distance\ drove\ by\ Cheryl\\\\ x=(5)/(7)*188,3\\ y=188,3-x=188,3-(5)/(7)*188,3=(2)/(7)*188,3\\\\ y=53,8\ miles\\\\ x=134,5\ miles\\\\ Bob\ drove\ 134,5\ miles.`

Answer 2

the total distance of the road trip is 188.3 miles

Both Bob and Cheryl took turns and drove

Bob has driven 5/7th of the total distance

distance Bob has driven -
`(5)/(7)of188.3miles`

when the 'of' function is used we have to multiply

`(5)/(7)*188.3 = (5*188.3)/(7) = 134.5`

therefore distance Bob drove is 134.5 miles
