Question

Deon is on his way home in his car. He has driven 24miles so far, which is one-half of the way home. What is the total length of his drive?

Answer 1

Given:

a.) He has driven 24miles so far, which is one-half of the way home.

Let's compute the total length that he must drive.

$\text{ 24 }\div\text{ }\frac{1}{2}\text{ = }\frac{\text{24}}{1}\text{ x }\frac{2}{1}$$\text{ = }\frac{48}{1}\text{ = 48}$

Therefore, the answer is 48 miles.
