Question

Marcos drove twice as far as Candice. Together, they drove 66 miles. How many miles did Candice drive?

Answer 1

Answer:

m+c=2c+c=66 so c=22 miles

Explanation:

Let m be Marcos's distance, c be Candice's.

m=2c

m+c=66

2c+c=66

3c=66

c=22

22 miles

Answer 2

Answer: Candice drive 22 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Marcos drove twice as far as Candice.

Let the number of miles drove by Candice be 'x'.

Let the number of miles drove by Marcos be '2x'.

According to question, they together drove 66 miles.

So, it becomes,

$x+2x=66\\\\3x=66\\\\x=\dfrac{66}{3}\\\\x=22\ miles$

Hence, Candice drive 22 miles.
