What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

The distance between San Antonio and Houston is 190 miles. Nicholas and Rose each drove 2/5 of the total distance.

Distance droved by Nicholas = Distance droved by rose = (2/5) * 190 = 76 miles

Distance droved by Charlie = 190 - 76 - 76 = 38 miles

The distance droved by Charlie is about 38 miles

What is a fraction?

A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction 1/4 can be described as 0.25

As it is given that the distance between San Antonio and Houston is 190 miles. Nicholas and Rose each drove 2/5 of the total distance. Therefore, we can write

[tex]\text{Distance covered by Nicholas}=\dfrac{2}{5}\ \text{of theTotal Distance}[/tex]

                                             [tex]= \dfrac{2}{5} \times 190\\\\= 76\rm\ miles[/tex]

[tex]\text{Distance covered by Rose}=\dfrac{2}{5}\ \text{of theTotal Distance}[/tex]

                                         [tex]= \dfrac{2}{5} \times 190\\\\= 76\rm\ miles[/tex]

Total Distance = Distance covered by Nicholas + Distance covered by Rose + Distance covered by Charlie

190 miles = 76 miles +76 miles + Distance covered by Charlie

Distance covered by Charlie = 38 miles

Hence, the distance covered by Charlie is 38 miles.
