[tex] \huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}[/tex]
- You are driving from Show Low to Portland, Oregon. The trip will be 1,345 miles total. So far, you have driven 3/5 of the way to Portland. How many miles do you have left to drive?
[tex] \large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}[/tex]
- Miles to be driven in total = 1, 345 miles
- Fraction of miles driven = 3/5
- Fraction of miles left to be driven = 2/5 [5/5 - 3/5 = 2/5]
- Miles left to be driven = ?
Now, let's solve it.
[tex] \sf1345 \times \frac{2}{5} \\ \sf = \bcancel{1345} \times \frac{2}{ \bcancel{5}} \\ \sf = 269 \times 2 \\ = \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf \: 538}}[/tex]
- So, the miles left to be driven by you is 538 miles.
