Answer :
[tex]x-\ distance\ drove\ by\ Bob\\\\
y-\ distance\ drove\ by\ Cheryl\\\\
x=\frac{5}{7}*188,3\\
y=188,3-x=188,3-\frac{5}{7}*188,3=\frac{2}{7}*188,3\\\\
y=53,8\ miles\\\\
x=134,5\ miles\\\\
Bob\ drove\ 134,5\ miles.[/tex]
the total distance of the road trip is 188.3 miles
Both Bob and Cheryl took turns and drove
Bob has driven 5/7th of the total distance
distance Bob has driven - [tex] \frac{5}{7}of188.3miles [/tex]
when the 'of' function is used we have to multiply
[tex] \frac{5}{7}*188.3 = \frac{5*188.3}{7} = 134.5 [/tex]
therefore distance Bob drove is 134.5 miles
