Question

After traveling a distance of 35km Vijay found that 3/5of journey is still left find the total distance to be covered by Vijay

Answer 1

Answer:

The total distance to be covered by Vijay = 87.5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• After traveling a distance of 35 km Vijay found that 3/5 of journey is still left.

To find:

• The total distance to be covered by Vijay.

Solution:

Let the total distance to be covered by Vijay be x.

According to the problem,

( As 3/5 of total journey i.e, 3/5 of distance we have assumed is still left, so we will subtract it from x which is equal to 35. Thus, forming an adequate equation and doing the required calculations, we will find the value of x, which is equal to the total distance covered ).

• x - 3x/5 = 35
• (5x - 3x)5 = 35
• 2x = 35 × 5
• 2x = 175
• x = 175/2
• x = 87.5 km
