Houston Andrews · Answer 1

60% of trip = 45 miles

let total trip distance = l

60% is given by multiplying by 0.6

So;

0.6l = 45 / / / / l = / frac{45}{0.6} / / / / / boxed{l = 75}

Your answer is 75 miles

Lily Novak · Answer 2

To determine this simply take the number of miles and divide it by the total amount which is unknown, and make it equal to

60%.

Solving for the total number of miles,

45/x = 0.6

6/10x = 45

45/0.6 = x = 75 miles.

The solution would be 75 miles.
