Question

Meg and Tanner take a road trip together where they take turns driving. The ratio of the number of miles that Meg drives to the number of miles that Tanner drives is 4:3. If Meg drives 112 miles, what was the length of the trip?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{Meg}{Tanner}$ = $\frac{4}{3}$

total dist. driven = dist. Meg drove + dist. Tanner drove

Meg = 112

Tanner = x    or how far did Tanner drive?

$\frac{112}{x}$ = $\frac{4}{3}$

$\frac{3}{4}$ * 112 = x

84 =x   so Tanner drove 84 miles  

total driven = 112 + 84

total driven = 196    :)
