Answer: 60 miles

Explanation:

Use the percent equation:

Percentage = ( Part / Whole ) × 100%

  • Percentage = 40%
  • Part = 24
  • Whole = ?
  1. Percentage = ( Part / Whole ) × 100%
  2. 40% = ( 24 / Whole ) × 100%
  3. 40/100 = ( 24 / Whole ) × 100/100
  4. 40/100 = 24 / Whole
  5. We cross multiply
  6. 40 × Whole = 24 × 100
  7. 40 × Whole = 2400
  8. Whole = 2400 / 40
  9. Whole = 60

Hope this helps :)
