drove 4 times as many miles in June as he did in July. How many miles did Mr. Thomas drive in
June?

Answer 1

1800 miles

Explanation:

No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in May = 75

It is given that miles driven in July is 6 times of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in May(75 miles).

Thus

No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in July = 6 * No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in May = 6*75 = 450 miles.

__________________________________________________

Another condition given that miles driven in June is 4 times of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in July(450miles as calculated above).

Thus

No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in June = 4 * No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in July = 4* 450 miles = 1800 miles.

No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in June is 1800 miles.
