Question

Mark drove 1/2 of the trip and Justin drove for 1/4 of the trip and Gina and Caitlyn divided the rest of the driving evenly between them. if the entire trip was128 miles so how many miles does Caitlyn Drive​

Answer 1

Given :

Mark drove $\frac{1}{2}$ of the trip and Justin drove for $\frac{1}{4}$ of the trip.

Gina and Caitlyn divided the rest of the driving evenly between them.

To Find :

The distance that Caitlyn drove.

Solution :

The distance of entire trip = 128 mile

Distance covered by Mark and Justin = $(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4})\times 128$

                                                              = $\frac{3\times 128}{4}$

                                                              = 96 miles

Remaining distance = 128 - 96 = 32 miles

Remaining distance was evenly divided between Caitlyn and Gina.

Therefore Caitlyn drove for the distance = $\frac{32}{2}$

                                                                = 16 miles.

Caitlyn drove for 16 miles.
