Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the percent of the total distance they canoed, we need to divide the distance they canoed by the total distance and then multiply by 100%.

Distance canoed = 17 miles
Total distance = 25 miles

Percent of total distance = (17/25) x 100% = 0.68 x 100% = 68%

So, they canoed 68% of the total distance. The best choice is B.
