Question

After travelling five - eighth of the journey, i travelled 60km . how much journey is left

Answer 1

Answer:

Journey left is 36 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total journey = "x"

Given:

Five-eights of the journey is travelled and this is 60 km

=> (5/8)*x = 60

=> x = (60*8)/5

=> x = 96

Total journey = 96 km

Journey remaining = Total journey  - Journey travelled

                                = 96 - 60

                                = 36 km

Alternatively:

If (5/8) of the journey is travelled, (3/8) of the journey remains.

[∵ 1 - (5/8) =(3/8)]

Journey remaining = (3/8)*96

                                = 288/8

                                 = 36 km
