Question

Daisy decides to go on a hike to a picnic area. Her map shows that when she reaches the giant oak tree she will have completed 60% of the hike. When Daisy reaches the giant oak tree she has walked 18 kilometers.

Answer 1

Answer:

• 12 km

Step-by-step explanation:

• Question:
• How many kilometers does Daisy have left to reach the picnic area?

Given

• 60% of the hike = 18 km

Let the distance be x, then

• 0.6x = 18
• x = 18/0.6
• x = 30 km

Remaining distance is:

• 30 - 18 = 12 km
