Question

Distance from Town A to Town B is divided into 8 equal parts. So far, the bus has traveled 12 miles. How far apart are Town A and Town B?

Answer 1

The distance between the towns is the number of miles between them

Town A and town B are 24 miles apart.

From the complete question, 4 parts are shaded.

The four parts represent the distance traveled by the bus.

So, we have:

$\mathbf{4\ parts = 12\ miles}$

Multiply both sides by 2, to get 8 parts

$\mathbf{4\ parts \times 2= 12\ miles \times 2}$

$\mathbf{8\ parts = 24\ miles}$

Rewrite as:

$\mathbf{AB= 24\ miles}$

Hence, town A and town B are 24 miles apart.
