Answer:

90 days

Explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this

You can easily solve this by using a simple rule of three.

Step one

Define

if the drives an average 36 miles per day,the how many days(x) will it take to drive 3240 miles :it is

1 day ⇔ 36 miles

x days ⇔ 3240 miles

the relation is

$(1\ day)/(36\ miles)=(x\ day)/(3240\ miles)\\$

Step two

solve for x

$(1\ day)/(36\ miles)=(x\ day)/(3240\ miles)\\\\x=(1\ day*3240\ miles)/(36\ miles)\\x=90\ days\\$

90 days

Have a great day.
