Answer:
5/13
Step-by-step explanation:
At 3:00 P.M., Gage was 78 miles away from his destination, at 3:25 P.M., he was 48 miles closer to his aunt's house
Representing this information in mathematical form, we have:
x (at 3:00) = 78 miles, x (at 3:25) = x - 48 = 78 - 48 = 30 miles
At 3:25 P.M., Gage had covered a distance of 48 miles & had 30 miles left to get to his aunt's house
Fraction of mile to the house = Distance left to the house ÷ Total distance
Fraction = 30 ÷ 78 = 5/13
It means Gage was a fraction of 5/13 away from his aunt's house at 3:25 P.M.
