Question

The ski team skied 28 miles so far this week. This was 4/5 of the total amount of miles they needed to ski this week. How many miles do they need to ski this week?

Answer 1

Let x be the number of miles they need to ski this week.

4/5 of x = 28

(4/5) x = 28

Multiply both-side of the equation by 5/4

x= 28 (5/4)

x= 35 miles

Hence, they need to ski 35 miles this week
