Sam traveled 3/4 of a journey by bus. He jogged 1/2 of the remaining distance and walked the rest of the way. If he walked 800 feet, what was the total distance he traveled?

Answer 1

bus: 3/4
jog: 1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8
That leaves 1 - 3/4 - 1/8 = 1/8 to walk
so, 1/8 x = 800
x = 6400 ft

Answer 2

Thank you I needed that too

Answer 3

hi, i posted this question a few months ago and i found an easier way to solve

3/4 by bus, jogged 1/2 remaining = 4/4 - 3/4 = 1/4
1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8 distance walked
800 ft * 8 = 6400 ft
