Question

There are eight furlongs in a mile and two weeks in a fortnight. if i travel 2800 furlongs in a fortnight, how many miles per day, rounded to the nearest whole number, did i travel?

Answer 1

The answer is 25 miles per day.

one mile = 8 furlongs
fortnight = 2 weeks = 14 days
convert furlongs to miles;
2800/8 = 350 miles
it means you travel 350 miles in 14 days
miles per day = 350/14 = 25
Thus, you travel 25 miles per day.
