Question

Henry is traveling from City A to City B. He has covered $180$ miles so far. If the ratio of the distance covered to the distance left is $6:3,$ find the distance he is yet to cover.

• A. $180mi$
• B. $240mi$
• C. $270mi$
• D. $90mi$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $90mi$

Distance covered $=180mi$
Let the distance he is yet to cover be $dmi.$
Ratio of the distance covered to the distance yet to cover $=6:3$
$=180:d=6:3$
$\Rightarrow \frac{180}{d}=\frac{6}{3}$
$\Rightarrow d=90mi$
