Answer 1

Answer:

The number of miles she has travelled is;

$124\text{ miles}$

Explanation:

Sue needs to travel 372 miles to visit her aunt.

Then, she stopped one third of the way, which is one third of 372 miles.

At that time she had travelled one third of the distance.

The one third of 372 miles is;

$\frac{1}{3}\times372\text{ miles}=124\text{ miles}$

So, the number of miles she has travelled is;

$124\text{ miles}$
