mrs. maganas family took a road trip to disney world! her kids fell asleep 68% of the way through the trip. if the total length of the trip was 900 miles, how many miles had they travelled when her children fell asleep?
The children fell asleep 68% of the way through the trip, which means they traveled 32% of the trip before falling asleep.
32% of 900 miles is 0.32 x 900 = 288 miles.
Therefore, Mrs. Magana's children fell asleep after traveling 288 miles.
wrong
I apologize for the error. Let's calculate this again:
If the children fell asleep 68% of the way through the trip, that means they had traveled 100% - 68% = 32% of the trip before falling asleep.
32% of 900 miles is: 0.32 x 900 = 288 miles.
Therefore, Mrs. Magana's children fell asleep after traveling 288 miles.
