36
miles to reach her destination.
She has driven 13
13
miles so far.

What is the ratio of the number of miles she has left to drive to the total number of miles on her trip?

CLEAR

Answer 1

Answer: The ratio of the number of miles Mariana has left to drive to the total number of miles on her trip can be calculated as follows:

Miles left to drive = Total miles - Miles driven so far

Miles left to drive = 36 miles - 13 miles

Miles left to drive = 23 miles

Ratio = Miles left to drive / Total miles

Ratio = 23 miles / 36 miles

Simplifying the ratio by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 1:

Ratio = 23/36

So, the ratio of the number of miles Mariana has left to drive to the total number of miles on her trip is 23/36.
