How long was the trip?

Answer 1

Total journey of bob was 108 miles .

Explanation:

Here we have , Bob traveled 90 miles which was 83 1 3 % of his trip. We need to find How long was the trip .Let's find out:

According to question , Bob has traveled a distance of :

⇒
`Distance = 90miles`

Which is
`83(1)/(3)\%` of his journey . So , Let total miles be x , So we have following equation framed according to question as :

⇒
`(83(1)/(3) x)/(100) =90`

⇒
`(83(1)/(3) x)/(100)(100) =90(100)`

⇒
`(83(3)+1)/(3) x=90(100)`

⇒
`(250)/(3) x=9000`

⇒
`x=9000((3)/(250) )`

⇒
`x=108miles`

Therefore , Total journey of bob was 108 miles .
