Answers
Answer:
60 Km
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 th of the journey is covered
remaining 1/4th is to be covered
Let x be the total distance
1/4 of x =15
x=60 km
Given:
After covering 3/4 of my journey. I find that 15 km is still left.
To Find:
What is the total distance of the journey?
Solution:
It is given that 3/4 of the journey is completed.
=> 1 - 3/4
=> (4-3)/4
=> 1/4
So: 1/4 of the journey is still left. It is given that 15 km is still left.
If 1/4 of the journey covers 15 km
Then 3/4 of the journey covers how many km?
=> 1/4 = 15 km
=> 3/4 = ? km
=> ((3/4) x 15) ÷ (1/4)
=> (45/4) ÷ (1/4)
=> (45/4) x 4
=> 45 km.
So, 3/4 of the journey covers 45 km.
Finding total distance:
3/4 of the journey covers 45 km and 1/4 of the journey covers 15 km.
Total distance = 45 km + 15 km
Total distance = 60 km.
