Question

Mrs. Oasis drove from Albany to Pittsburgh. She stopped to rest every 95 kilometers. How many stops did she make? How many kilometers were left after her last stop during the trip?

Answer 1

a. 7 times

b. 74.7 km

Explanation:

a. From Albany to Pittsburgh, there are 739.7 km.

She stopped to rest after every 95 kilometres:

Therefore, let us find how many times she stopped:

739.7 / 95 = 7.79

We only need the quotient, that is, 7

So she stopped 7 times.

b. After her last stop, she had traveled:

7 * 95 = 665 km

Therefore, the distance she has left after her last stop is:

739.7 - 665 = 74.7 km
