Question

Ali is going with his family to their uncle's house. They still have 12 Km left. How far does their uncle live if they had reached three quarters (3/4) of the total distance?​

Answer 1

48 km

Explanation:

The total distance = 4/4

12 km left = 3/4 of the way there

3/4 of the way there = 4/4 - 3/4 = 1/4 of the way left

12 km left = 1/4 of the way left

12 km = 1/4 of the way

multiply both sides by 4

48 km = 4/4 of the way = the total distance
