Answer 2

240 miles.

Explanation:

Let a man travelled by an automobile=x miels

and a man travelled distance by an airpalne was 9 times the distance travelled by an automobile. Therefore, the expression is
`9x`.

According to question , total distance travelled in trip is equal to 600 miles .

Therefore , the expression for this
`x+9x=600`

Hence,
`10x=600`

implies that x=
`600/10`

`x=60`

Distance travel by an automobile is 60 miles .

therefore ,the man distance travel =
`9*60=540`.
