Question

Bobby drove for 56 miles to visit a friend. He drove 42 miles before stopping for gas. What percent of the drive did Bobby have left after stopping for gas. Explain how u got your answer.

Answer 1

25%.

56 - 42 = 14 miles left after stopping for gas.

then put 14 over 56 as a fraction because it's the amount he has left over the total drive.

14 ÷ 56 = .25

.25 = 25%
