Question

A plane is flying from Albuquerque new Mexico to Austin Texas so far it has flown 161 miles or 23% of the total distance of the flight how far is the flight from Albuquerque to Austin

Answer 1

Answer: 700 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that 23% of the total distance of the flight from Albuquerque New Mexico to Austin Texas is 161 miles.

2. Then, keeping that information on mind, you can calculate the total distance of the flight (which you call $x$) as following:

$\frac{161miles}{23\%}=\frac{x}{100\%}$

Solve for $x$. Then, you obtain that the result is:

$x=\frac{161miles*100\%}{23\%}\\x=700miles$
