Nadia · Answer 1

Well, to find the total amount of miles she has drove in 2/5 of the way, you divide 600 by 5. Your answer will now be 120. Since 120 is only the 1/5 of 600, you need to add another 120. So your total answer would be 240, and she would have 360 miles left to drive.

So she has driven 2/5 of 600 miles ... " of " means multiply

2/5 * 600 = 1200/5 = 240 miles < = = she has already driven 240 miles
