Question

Maya is driving 120 miles to her grand mothers house. she drives 35% of the distance before stopping for lunch. how far does she drive before lunch?

Answer 1

0.35 * 20 = 42 , <<== this is your answer .

35% x 20 = 42 % , but 35% as a decimal is 0.35 so 0.35* or 0.35 x 20 = 42

i hope this helped you.

Answer 2

35% as a decimal is 0.35

0.35 x 120 = 42

Therefore she drove 42 miles before stopping for lunch :)
