Question

Ms. Adam drives 150% of Mr. Gilbert’s distance. How far does Ms. Adam drive?

Answer 1

Mr. Gilbert drives 8 miles. Ms. Adam drives 150% the distance.

Start by dividing the percent by 100 to find the multiple. 150/100 is 1.5. Now multiply 1.5 times 8 to find the distance travelled. 8 * 1.5 = 12. Another way to think of 1.5 is (1 x 8) + (.5 x 8) = (8 + 4) = 12

I hope this helps! :)
