Question

14. After 1÷6th of my trek is done, I am still to
trek 5 km. What is the total length of my trek?
​

Answer 1

After 1/6 of the trek is done, there is still 5/6 of the trek left.

Therefore, 5/6 of the total length is 5 km.

Let the total length be x km.

5/6 of x = 5

5/6*x = 5

x = 5*6/5 (when 5/6 is sent to the LHS, it becomes the reciprocal.)

x = 6 km.

The total length of the trek is 6 km.
