Question

leveled practice in 1–2, fill in the boxes to solve. 1. a bike path is 12.5 miles. dominic is 70% of the way to the end. how far is dominic on the path? \\(\frac{p}{\square}=\frac{\square}{\square}\\) \\(p = \square\\) the distance dominic has biked on the path, \\(p\\), is \\(\square\\) miles.

Explanation:

Step1: Set up proportion

$\frac{p}{12.5} = \frac{70}{100}$

Step2: Solve for $p$

$p = 12.5 \times \frac{70}{100}$

Step3: Calculate the value

$p = 12.5 \times 0.7$

Answer:

$\frac{p}{12.5} = \frac{70}{100}$
$p = 8.75$
The distance Dominic has biked on the path, $p$, is 8.75 miles.
