Question

Carly and her family drove from Dallas, Texas, to Boston, Massachusetts, to visit relatives. The total driving distance was 1,815 miles. If they made 15 stops along the way, what is the average number of miles they drove in each of the 16 segments of the trip

Answer 1

The average number of miles they drove in each of the 16 segments of the trip is approximately 113.44 miles.

Explanation:

To find the average number of miles driven in each of the 16 segments of the trip, you can divide the total driving distance by the number of segments, which is 16.

Average miles per segment = Total driving distance / Number of segments

Average miles per segment = 1,815 miles / 16 segments

Average miles per segment = 113.4375 miles
