Question

Kirk's family drove 36 miles in 50 minutes, which was 48% of the distance to his grandmother's house.



What was the total distance in miles to Kirk's grandmother's house?



17.28 miles


24 miles


48 miles


75 miles

Answer 1

Answer:

75 miles

48% of x(total distance) = 36

$\frac{48}{100} \times x = 36 \\ x = \frac{36 \times 100}{48} \\ x = 3 \times 25 \\ x = 75$

Answer 2

Answer:

75 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

48% of the distance = 36 miles

100% of the distance = 36 ÷ 48 x 100 = 75 miles
