Question

Kurt is taking a road trip and has 1/3 of his total distance left to travel. What fraction of the total distance has Kurt already traveled?

1) 1/2
2) 2/3
3) 1/4
4) 2/5

Answer 1

Kurt has already traveled 2/3 of the total distance on his road trip, calculated by subtracting the fraction of the distance left (1/3) from the total distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Kurt has 1/3 of his total distance left to travel on his road trip, then he must have already traveled the remaining part of the total distance. To find the fraction of the distance he has already traveled, we subtract the distance left from the total distance, which is always represented by the number 1 in fraction form.

So we calculate as follows:

• Total distance - Distance left = Distance traveled
• 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

Therefore, Kurt has already traveled 2/3 of the total distance on his road trip.
