Answer:
75 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that she has driven 120 miles before the first stop.
Then she drives for 1/4 of the the distance she has already driven (120 miles). One fourth of 120 is 30.
So now, she's driven for 120 + 30 miles, or 150 miles.
She drives for another 2/3 of the distance she's traveled (150 miles). Two thirds of 150 is 100.
So now, she's driven for 150 + 100 miles, or 250 miles.
What we need to find out now is how much of the trip has she traveled.
We know that the entire distance she has driven is 55 miles more than 1 ⅔ of the remaining trip. So, in other words, the distance she has traveled minus 55 is equal to 1 2/3 of the trip.
To put this in an equation:
250 - 55 = 1 2/3t
t = the whole trip
Now, we solve for t.
250 - 55 = 195
1 2/3 = 5/3
so, 195 = 5/3t
t = 325
We subtract what she has already driven to the total to get the remaining distance.
325 - 250 = 75
