Question

Carmen is on her way home in her car. Her drive is 36 miles long. She has finished 3/4 of the drive so far. How far has she driven?

Answer 1

Explanation

We are required to determine how far Carmen has driven.

This is achieved thus:

$\begin{gathered} \text{ total drive length }=36miles \\ \text{ Drive completed }=\frac{3}{4}\text{ }of\text{ T}otal \\ \therefore Drive\text{ }completed=\frac{3}{4}\times36miles=3\times9miles \\ Drive\text{ }completed=27miles \end{gathered}$

Hence, the answer is:

$27miles$
