Question

Q: After travelling the distance of 45 km, Aryan found that 3/8 distance of his journey was still left. What was the length of his journey ?

Answer 1

Let the total distance be x km,

After travelling 45 km, $\frac{3}{8}$ of total journey is still left.

Hence, Arya has travelled a distance of $x-\frac{3}{8}x=\frac{5}{8}x$

$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{8}x=45km$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{45\times 8}{5}$

$\Rightarrow x=72$

Thus total distance of journey =72 km
