Question

Carmen is on her way home in her car. Her drive is 36 miles long. She has finished 3/4 of the drive so far. How far has she driven?

Answer 1

Explanation

We are required to determine how far Carmen has driven.

This is achieved thus:

`\begin{gathered} \text{ total drive length }=36miles \\ \text{ Drive completed }=(3)/(4)\text{ }of\text{ T}otal \\ \therefore Drive\text{ }completed=(3)/(4)*36miles=3*9miles \\ Drive\text{ }completed=27miles \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is:

`27miles`
