Question

Jaspreet has to travel 45 km to reach her aunt's house. She has covered 5/8 of the distance. How much distance is left to be covered? (Hint: First, find the distance she has covered.)​

Answer 1

Given

• Distance Jaspreet has to travel to reach her aunt's house ⇒ 45 km
• Distance she has covered ⇒ 5/8 of the total distance

______________________________

To Find

• The distance left to be covered.

______________________________

Solution

Distance required to be covered in total ⇒ 45 km

Distance covered ⇒ 5/8 of total distance

So first, we'll find the distance Jaspreet had traveled in 'km'

⇒ $\sf \dfrac{5}{8} \ of \ 45$

⇒ $\sf \dfrac{5}{8} \times 45$

⇒ $\sf \dfrac{225}{8}$

⇒ $\sf 28.125$

∴ Jaspreet had traveled 28.125 km

Distance left to be covered = Total Distance - Distance Covered

Distance left to be covered = 45 - 28.125

Distance left to be covered ⇒ 16.875

∴ The distance left to be covered by Jaspreet is 16.875 km

Answer 2

$\Large{\underbrace{\underline{\bf{TO\: FIND\::}}}}$

• The distance is left to be covered by Jaspreet.

$\Large{\underbrace{\underline{\bf{GIVEN\::}}}}$

• Jaspreet has travelled 45 km, to reach her aunt's house.

• He has covered $\sf{\dfrac{5}{8}}$ of the total distance.

$\Large{\underbrace{\underline{\bf{SOLUTION\::}}}}$

☛ Jaspreet covered $\sf{\dfrac{5}{8}}$ of the total distance (45 km), i.e.

➵ $\sf{\dfrac{5}{8}}$ × 45

➵ $\sf{\dfrac{225}{8}}$

➵ 28.125 km

That means,

✰ Jaspreet covered 28.125 km.

☛ After covered $\sf{\dfrac{5}{8}}$ of total distance (45 km), the distance left is given as

➵ (45 - 28.125) km

➵ 16.875 km

∴ 16.875 km distance is left to be covered by Jaspreet.
