Raj drives his car 5 times farther than Gary drives his car. Together they drive 624 miles. How many miles does Raj drive?
If Gary drove x miles, then
x + 5x = 624
now finish it off
so what is the answer...
idk 🤔😟
It’s 520
x + 5x = 624
6x = 624
x = 104
104 * 5 = 520
To find out how many miles Raj drives, we can set up an equation based on the given information.
Let's assume the number of miles Gary drives is x.
According to the problem, Raj drives 5 times farther than Gary, so Raj drives 5x miles.
Together, they drive 624 miles, so we can add their distances:
x + 5x = 624
Combining like terms:
6x = 624
To find the value of x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 6:
x = 624 / 6
x = 104
Now we know that Gary drives 104 miles. To find out how many miles Raj drives, we can substitute this value back into the equation for Raj's distance:
Raj's distance = 5x = 5 * 104 = 520
Therefore, Raj drives 520 miles.
