On day

On day one 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?

Correct answer:

x =  0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

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