Ramon is driving from one city to another. he plans to drive the 680 miles in 11 hours. He completed 9/34 of the trip before he stopped for gas. he then drove another 13/34 of the way and stopped for lunch. what fraction of the trip remains? how much farther does Ramon have to drive?

Respuesta :

Answer : Fraction of remaining trip = [tex]\frac{6}{17}[/tex]

Remaining distance = 240 miles

Total distance he plans to drive = 680 miles

Distance he drive before he stopped for gas[tex]=\frac{9}{34}[/tex]

Distance he drive and stopped for lunch [tex]=\frac{13}{34}[/tex]

Fraction  of trip remains

[tex]=1-\frac{9}{34}-\frac{13}{34}\\=1-\frac{22}{34}\\=\frac{34-22}{34}\\=\frac{12}{34}\\=\frac{6}{17}[/tex]

Remaining distance of trip is given by

[tex]\frac{6}{17}\times 680\\=6\times 40\\=240 miles[/tex]

Hence, remaining distance for the trip = 240 miles
