Question

TRAVEL Caroline is taking a road trip on 1-70 in Kansas. She stops for gas at mile marker 36. Her destination is at mile marker 353 in Topeka, but she decides to stop at an attraction 3/4 of the way after stopping for gas. At about which mile marker did Caroline stop to visit the attraction?

Need help with this question?

Answer 1

Since mile markers are usually whole numbers, we round this result to the nearest whole number.

The approximate mile marker where Caroline stopped to visit the attraction is around mile marker 238.

Explanation:

To determine the approximate mile marker where Caroline stopped to visit the attraction, we can calculate 3/4 of the total distance between the gas stop at mile marker 36 and her destination at mile marker 353.

First, we find the total distance between the gas stop and the destination:

353 - 36 = 317 miles

Next, we calculate 3/4 of this total distance:

(3/4) * 317 = 237.75 miles

Please note that this calculation is an approximation based on the given information. The actual mile marker where Caroline stopped may vary slightly depending on the specific location of the attraction.
