Question

Sam traveled 3\4 of journey by bus.he jogged 1\2 of the remaining distance and walked the rest of the way. if he walked 800 feet,what was the total distance he traveled?

Answer 1

We know that the distance he walked is half of the last quarter of his journey, so to get that last quarter, we multiply by 2:

800 × 2 = 1600

It says that 3/4 of his journey was went by bus. 1600 is only the last quarter of his journey, so we multiply is by 4 to get the total distance he traveled:

1600 × 4 = 6400 feet total
