So the question was, The Simi family traveled to Kerikeri on the weekend. The distance from Auckland to Kerikeri is 244km. Mr Simi miscalculated the petrol they needed and only put in enough petrol to last them 3/4 of the way. How many kilometres did they travel before they needed more petrol?.
So first we had to find out 3/4 of 244km.
- Why did we have to find out 3/4 of 244km ?
We had to find 3/4 of 244km because the question was how many km did they travel before they needed more petrol?
First we split 3/4 to make it easier for us to solve was 3/4 of 244km was. We broke it down into 1/4. So
1/4 = 61 1/4 = 61 1/4 = 61. ( Now that I have split 3/4, I will now have to find out what each quarter equals to. So.. ) Once we found out what each quarter equals to, we added up the answers because we had to find out how much they traveled before they needed more petrol.
61 + 61 + 61 = 183km.
Now I know that the Simi family traveled 183km before they needed more petrol.
