Question

after going 3/4 of my journey I find that I have covered 16 kms.....how much journey is still left

Answer 1

Total journey = x km

Journey covered=3/4of x= 3x/4

Journey left=x-3x/4= (4x-3x)/4 = x/4

Given: 3/4 of journey is 16 km

3x/4 =16

x= (16*4)/3 = 64/3 km

Total journey= 64/3 km

Journey left = x/4 = (64/3)/4 =  (64/3)*(1/4) = 16/3 km

16/3 km journey is left

Hope this will help you.....

Answer 2

Let us consider total journey to be X Km.

Given that 3/4th of X = 16km

3X/4 = 16

X = (16*4)/3 = 64/3 km

Therefore, Total journey= 64/3 km


Remaining journey to be covered = X/4
= (64/3)/4
= (64/3)*(1/4)
= 16/3 km


So, 16/3 km journey is yet to be covered.

Hope it helps!
