Question

A couple of travelers are planning a road rip on the old US Route 66. The trip encompasses 2448 miles. If the travelers want to finish the trip in 7 days, how many miles per day must they travel?

Answer 1

349.7miles per day.

Explanations

The formula for calculating the speed traveled is expressed as:

`Speed=(distance)/(time)`

Given the following parameters

Distance traveled = 2448miles

Time to complete trip = 7 days

Substitute

`\begin{gathered} Speed=(2448miles)/(7days) \\ Speed=349.7miles\text{/day} \end{gathered}`

This shows that they must have traveled about 349.7miles per day.
