The distance from your house to your aunt's house is 228 miles you are twice as far from home as you are from your aunt's house How far have you traveled?

Answer 1

The ratio of the distances between me and my house, and me and my aunt's house is 2:1

⇒ there are 2 + 1 = 3 parts to the distance between my house and my aunt's house

⇒ each part is worth the distance between the two houses divided by 3, that is 228 miles ÷ 3 = 76 miles

⇒ I am 2 parts from my house which is 2 x 76 miles = 152 miles

& 1 part from my aunt's house which is 1 x 76 miles = 76 miles

So if I am on my way to visit my aunt, I have travelled 152 miles from my house;

Or if I am on my way home from visiting my aunt, I have travelled 76 miles from my aunt's house;
