On day

On the first day of the trip, they drove 1/4 of the total distance.
On day two, they drove 1/2 of the total distance.
What fraction of the total distance is left to travel?

Final Answer:

x =  1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=\frac{1}{4}=0.25 \\ b=\frac{1}{2}=0.5 \\ x=1-a-b=1-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25 \end{gathered}$$
