Question

Bob traveled 90 miles which was 83 1/3 % of his trip. How long was the trip?

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of trip is 108 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information,

Bob traveled 90 miles which was 83 1/3 % of his trip.

Let the total number of miles is x.

It is given that 83 1/3% of x is 90.

Therefore,

$x\times 83\frac{1}{3}\%=90$

$x\times \frac{250}{3}\times \frac{1}{100}=90$

$x\times \frac{5}{6}=90$

$x=90\times \frac{6}{5}$

$x=18\times6$

$x=108$

Hence the length of trip is 108 miles.

Answer 2

Let x be total amount traveled Therefore, x(.8333) = 90 x = 108 108 miles
