A truck driver is two hours into a 1346 mile drive and has driven 125 miles so far which of the following is the number of miles the truck driver still must cover to reach the halfway point of the trip

Respuesta :

1346 ➗ 2 = 673
673 - 125 = 548

Answer: 548

Answer:

The number of miles the truck driver still must cover to reach the halfway point of the trip is: 548 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance the truck driver should drive is: 1346 miles

The halfway point of the trip is:

[tex]h_p=\frac{1346miles}{2}= 673 miles[/tex]

We know how many miles has driven the man, he has driven 125 miles

To know how many miles the truck driven still must cover to reach the halfway point of the trip we need to subtract:

[tex]x=h_p- 125miles\\x=673miles-125miles\\x=548 miles[/tex]
