Question

In a highway building project, 32 miles of a new highway have been

completed. This is three miles less than one third of the entire length.
How long will the new highway be when completed?

Answer 1

Answer: 105 miles

Explanation:

You can write an equation for this problem and solve it.

32 miles=1/3x-3, where x is equal to the total length of the highway.

35=1/3x, and then you multiply by 3, to get x=105
