Michaela is hiking on a weekend camping trip. She has walked 6 miles so far. This is 30% of the total distance. What is the total number of the miles she will walk?

She will have to walk 20 miles in total. Because 6 ÷ 20= 0.30

If 6mi=30%,
The best thing to do is to find ten percent.
To do this, divide both sides by 3, and this gives you
2m=10% (2m being 2 miles)
Therefore, to find 100%, you've got multiply both sides by 10
20m=100%
Therefore, Michaela will walk 20 miles this weekend
Hope this helps :)
