Jen has driven 15 mi. on her way to the mall. This distance is 3/5 of the total distance. If d represents the total distance in miles, which equation can be used to find d?

In order to calculate the total distance, it should be important to understand the given values in the statement. We do as follows:

Initial distance traveled = 15 mi

15 mi = 3/5 x total distance = 3d/5

Solving for d,

15 = 3d/5

d = 25 miles
