remaining miles, about how many miles did her mom, dad, and brother

each drive

Answer 1

Answer:Melissa's mom, dad, and brother each drove 312miles, 168miles and 0 miles respectively

Explanation:

If Mellisa's dad drove 35% of the way

and Melissa's mum drove 65% of the way,

Then

Melissa's brother did not drive at all because

Miles covered by her dad = 35% x 480 = 0.35 x480= 168 miles

Miles covered by her mum= 65% x 480 = 0.65 x 480=312miles

her mom, dad, and brother each drove 312miles, 168miles and 0 miles respe ctively
