Question

Dante's family is driving to a campground. They drove 3/8 of the total distance and then stopped to rest. They drove another 2/8 of the total distance before the next rest stop.

Answer 1

They traveled 5/8 of the total distance so far.

There are 3/8 of the total distance left.

Explanation:

Givens

• They drove 3/8 of the total distance and then stopped to rest.
• They drove another 2/8 of the total distance to the next rest stop.

To find the total fraction of distance they traveled so far, we just need to sum fractions

`d=(3)/(8)+(2)/(8)= (5)/(8)`

Basically, they traveled 5/8 of the total distance so far.

Additionally, there are 3/8 of the total distance left.

Answer 2

Total distance is

`=(3)/(8)+(2)/(8)\\\\= (5)/(8)`

• Therefore, they traveled 5/8 of the total distance so far.

Explanation:

Given that;

* They drove 3/8 of the total distance and then stopped to rest.

* They drove another 2/8 of the total distance before the next rest stop,

To find the total fraction of distance they traveled, we need to add

Total distance is

`=(3)/(8)+(2)/(8)\\\\= (5)/(8)`

• Therefore, they traveled 5/8 of the total distance so far.
