Jordans family is on a road tirp. So far they have travelled 3/7 of the total distance. They have travelled 120 miles so far. So how far is the whole trip.

Answer:the distance if the whole trip is 280 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance of the whole trip.

Jordans family is on a road tirp. So far they have travelled 3/7 of the total distance. This means that the distance that they have travelled so far is

3/7 * x = 3x/7

They have travelled 120 miles so far. This means that

3x/7 = 120

Multiplying both sides if the equation by 7, it becomes

3x/7 * 7 = 120 * 7

3x = 840

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, it becomes

3x/3 = 840/3

x = 280 miles
