I drove 1,200 miles in 3 days.
On the first day i traveled 1/3 of the total distance.
on the second day i traveled 1/4 of the remaining distance.
what was the total distance in miles did i travel on the third day?
:
1st day: *1200 = 400 mi
2nd day: (1200-400) = 200 mi
3rd day: 1200 - 400 - 200 = 600 mi
