60% of trip = 45 miles

let total trip distance = l

60% is given by multiplying by 0.6

So;

0.6l = 45 \\ \\ l = \frac{45}{0.6} \\ \\ \boxed{l = 75}

Your answer is 75 miles

To determine this simply take the number of miles and divide it by the total amount which is unknown, and make it equal to
60%.

Solving for the total number of miles,

45/x = 0.6

6/10x = 45

45/0.6 = x = 75 miles.

The solution would be 75 miles.
