Question

Shweta has traveled 25 km until now, but 3/5 of the distance still remain to be covered. What is the total distance she will travel?

Answer 1

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 * 25

15 + 25

40

Total distance travelled by her is 40 km

Answer 2

Answer:

The total distance Shweta will travel is 62.5 km.  

Given Data:  

Let the total distance = x km

Distance travelled by Shweta = 25 km

Remaining distance left $=\frac{3}{5}$ of total distance  

To Find:

Calculate the total distance Shweta will travel

Explanation:  

$\frac{3 x}{5}\ \mathrm{km}$

$\begin{array}{l}{x-\frac{3 x}{5}=25} \\ \\{\frac{5 x-3 x}{5}=25}\end{array}$

$\frac{2 x}{5}=25$

$\begin{array}{l}{2 x=25 \times 5} \\ \\{2 x=125} \\ \\{x=\frac{125}{2}} \\ \\{x=62.5\ \mathrm{km}}\end{array}$

Therefore, the total distance is 62.5 km
