Answer:
60 miles far is the trip.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Ms Joice is going on a trip to Scranton and she has completed 60% of her trip.
She has traveled 36 miles.
Now, to find how far is the trip of her.
So, as given 60% of her trip is 36 miles which is completed.
Thus, we need to find the 100% of her trip first:
Now, using the cross product:
Let the 100% of the trip be [tex]x[/tex].
If, 60% is equivalent to 36 miles
.
Thus, 100% is equivalent to [tex]x[/tex] miles.
By setting the proportion:
[tex]\frac{60}{36} =\frac{100}{x}[/tex]
By cross multiplication we get:
[tex]60\times x=3600[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 60 we get:
[tex]x=60\ miles.[/tex]
Therefore, 60 miles far is the trip.
