The total length of the trip is the number of miles in the trip

The total length of the trip is 974 miles

<h3>How to determine the total length?</h3>

The given parameters are:

If Taylor sleeps for 21% of the trip, then Taylor was awake for 79% of the trip

Represent the total length of the trip with T.

So, we have:

73% * T = 711 miles

Divide both sides by 73%

T = 974 miles

Hence, the total length of the trip is 974 miles
