Question

Isabella is 30 miles into a 70-mile backpacking trip in the wilderness.

Isabella can hike 8 miles per day. How many more days does Isabella
need to finish?
Isabella needs how
more days.

Answer 1

Answer: Five Days

Explanation:

Isabella can hike 8 miles per day. So:

`(30miles)/(8miles) = 3.75 days`

It will take:

`(70 miles)/(8 miles) = 8.75 days`

..in total to hike 70 miles.

So, subtracting the two values:

`8.75 - 3.75 = 5`

She still needs to hike five days in order to finish the trail.
