Question

The Murphy family is on a road trip. On the first day, they traveled 30% of their total distance. On the second day, they traveled another 1/4 of the total distance. What fraction of the total distance do they have left after the second day? What percent?

Answer 1

55% or 55/100 or 11/20

Explanation:

1/4 is equal to 25%

Add: 30+25=55

So the percent will be 55%

Percents are always out of 100, so to convert 55% into a fraction, you simply have to put 55 over 100: 55/100

Find the greatest common factor, which is 5.

Divide:

55÷5=11

100÷5=20

So the simplified fraction will be 11/20.
