Question

In 1985, Rick Hansen, the Man in Motion, wheeled

around the world in his wheelchair in
order to help people understand the importance of a
world without barriers for people with
disabilities. Starting on March 21, 1985, and
finishing on May 22, 1987, he went through
34 countries and travelled a total of 40 075 km. On
average, how many kilometres did he
travel on each day of his world tour? (Neither 1986
or 1987 was a leap year).

Answer 1

Answer: This means that Rick Hansen traveled around 50.56 km per day during his world tour.

Step-by-step explanation: To calculate the average number of kilometers Rick Hansen traveled per day on his world tour, we need to divide the total distance traveled by the number of days he was on the tour.

March 21, 1985, to May 22, 1987, is a total of 792 days (including the start and end dates).

Dividing 40,075 km by 792 days gives us approximately 50.56 km per day, on average. This means that Rick Hansen traveled around 50.56 km per day during his world tour.
