Question

Lashonda is on her way home in her car. Her drive is 20 miles long. She has finished four-fifths of the drive so far. How far has she driven?

Answer 1

Answer:

Lashonda has driven 16 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

4/5 = ?/20

You're able to solve the missing variable in a lot of ways, but cross multiplication is one of them.

20 · 4 = 80

80/5 = 16
