Question

Matt drove for 1/2 of the trip, and Justin drove for 1/4 of the trip. Gina and Kaitlyn divided the rest of the driving evenly between them.

If the entire trip is 128 miles, how many miles did Kaitlyn drive?

Answer 1

Kaitlyn drove 16 miles.

Matt drove 1/2, Justin drove 1/4. Combined, they drove 3/4 of the distance. That leaves 1/4 of 128 miles for Gina and Kaitlyn to split. Half of 1/4 is 1/8.

1/8 x 128 = 16 miles
