Leila is on her way home in her car. She has driven 20 miles so far, which is four-fifths of the way home.
\n" ); document.write( " What is the total length of her drive?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let d = total distance of the drive
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "four-fifth of the total distance = 20 mi
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2F5\"d = 20
\n" ); document.write( "get rid of the denominator, multiply by 5, results
\n" ); document.write( "4d = 5(20)
\n" ); document.write( "4d = 100
\n" ); document.write( "d = 100/4
\n" ); document.write( "d = 25 miles is the total length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Prove this to yourself, take 4/5 of 25
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
