Marsha is driving 625 total miles on a trip. She has already driven 2/5

of the distance. How far has Marsha driven?

1 answer

To find out how far Marsha has driven, we need to calculate \( \frac{2}{5} \) of the total distance of 625 miles.

We can do this calculation as follows:

\[ \text{Distance driven} = \frac{2}{5} \times 625 \]

Calculating \( \frac{2}{5} \times 625 \):

  1. First, divide 625 by 5:

\[ 625 \div 5 = 125 \]

  1. Next, multiply the result by 2:

\[ 125 \times 2 = 250 \]

So, Marsha has driven 250 miles.
