Question

Boatesville is a 65 3/5 -kilometer drive from stanton. A bus traveling from stanton to boatesville is 24 1/3 kilometers from boatesville. How far has the bus traveled​

Answer 1

41 4/15 is how far the bus has traveled

Explanation:

total distance = distance traveled + distance to go

65 3/5 = x + 24 1/3

Subtract 24 1/3 from each side

65 3/5 - 24 1/3 = x

Get a common denominator of 15

65 3/5 *3/3 = 65 9/15

24 1/3 *5/5 = 24 5/15

65 9/15 - 24 5/15=x

41 4/15 is how far the bus has traveled
