If you go on a road trip of 270 miles in the mountains and 7/ 10 of the trip is downhill, how many miles of the trip are not downhill? Reduce to the lowest terms.

81 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question 7/10 of the trip has been said to be downhill. It therefore means that 3/10 is not downhill.

Miles = 270

Downhill = 7/10

Not downhill = 3/10

Now we have To calculate Miles that are not downhill (uphill)

But first I calculated for the number of downhill miles

270x7/10

Downhill = 189 miles

To get the number of not downhill miles

I subtracted 189 from the total number of miles on the question.

270 - 189

= 81 Miles.

Therefore 81 Miles of the trip are not downhill.
