The question in the image asks: 

**Fred is driving to a city that is 40 miles away. He tells you by radio that he has driven three-quarters of the way there. How far has Fred driven?**

To solve this:
- Fred has driven ¾ of the total distance.
- The total distance is 40 miles.
  
Now, to calculate how far Fred has driven:

\[
\text{Distance driven} = \frac{3}{4} \times 40 = 30 \text{ miles}
\]

So, Fred has driven **30 miles**, which corresponds to option **D**.

Would you like more details on this problem, or have any questions? Here are some follow-up questions:

1. How would the calculation change if Fred had driven only half of the distance?
2. If Fred had driven 5 miles more than three-quarters of the way, how far would he have driven?
3. How far would Fred have left to drive after completing three-quarters of the journey?
4. If the total distance was 60 miles, how far would Fred have driven after three-quarters of the journey?
5. How would you express the fraction of the journey Fred has completed as a percentage?

**Tip:** When working with fractions of distances or quantities, multiplying the fraction by the total value gives the result directly!
