Question 1159973

Pius traveled one-quarter of the journey to his destination. He still has to cover 24 km to reach the third-way mark.                    2. 5.1. How many kilometers does he still have to travel to reach his destination? ( use a diagram to help you.)                      2.5.2. Identify the mathematical concepts and skills (background information) that learners need to master to be able to answer this question. Elaborate.
<pre>Definitely will NOT do all of that!

Let journey be J km
We then get the following equation: {{{matrix(1,7, (1/4)J + 24, "=", (1/3)J, "______", J/4 + 24, "=", J/3)}}}
3J + 288 = 4J ----- Multiplying by LCD, 12
Journey, or J = 288 km
With the entire journey being 288 km, and he's already covered {{{1/4}}}, or 72 km, he has another {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,6, highlight(216), "(288 - 72)", km, to, complete, journey))}}}
