Question

the parker family drove a totol of 180 miles on their road trip. this distance is 1.5 times the distance they drove on the first day how many miles did the parker family drive on the first day

Answer 1

Hi there!

So here's what we know and what we are looking for. First, just to make things easier to understand, we'll replace "the distance they drove on the first day by "X" :

They drove 180 miles

180 = 1.5 × X

Now that you have your equation, all you need to do to find your answer is to isolate the "X" :

180 = 1.5 x X

divide each side of the equation by 1.5

120 = X

So your answer is : The parker family drove 120 miles on the first day.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

Answer 2

you would have to divide 180 by 1.5 to get you answer so 1.5 of 180 is 120

so your answer would be 120
