Question

Alexandra's family took a road trip to the Grand Canyon. Alexandra slept for the last 48 miles of the trip. If the total length of the trip was 800 miles, what percentage of the total trip had they travelled when Alexandra fell asleep

Answer 1

6%

Explanation:

Divide 48 and 800 together.

48/800 = 0.06

48 is the miles she's sleeping and 800 is the total miles.

So, she was asleep only 6% of the trip.

Hope this helped.

Answer 2

She fell asleep for 6% of the trip.

Explanation:

You take 48 and divide it by 800. That gives you 0.06.

0.06 equals 6%.
