Question

Jade and Juliette are riding their bikes across the country to promote autism awareness. They rode their bikes 45.4 miles on the first day and 56.3 miles on the second day. From now on, Jade and Juliette plan to ride their bikes 62 miles per day. If the entire trip is 2,878 miles, how many more days do they need to ride?

Write a short script that could be used to make a video about this cross-country bike trip. Provide a short character description, dialogue (conversation between characters), and directions for the actors, but keep the script simple

Answer 1

Jade and Juliette 44.7days more days to complete their trip.

How to calculate the number of days to complete the trip

To calculate how many more days Jade and Juliette need to ride, we can use the equation:

Total distance = Distance on first day + Distance on second day + Distance on remaining days

We know the first and second day distances, and the daily distance for the remaining days, so we can substitute those values in the equation:

2878 = 45.4 + 56.3 + 62x

where x is the number of remaining days they need to ride.

Simplifying the equation:

2878 - 101.7 = 62x

2776.3 = 62x

Dividing both sides of the equation by 62

x = 44.7

hence, Jade and Juliette need to ride for 44.7 more days to complete their trip.
