Final answer:
After subtracting the initial 348 miles to Wichita from the total 3,894-mile trip, Lupe has 3,546 miles left to travel. Dividing this by the daily distance of 394 miles, it will take Lupe 9 days to complete the rest of her trip from Wichita to Anchorage.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lupe drives a total of 3,894 miles from Dallas to Anchorage and covers 348 miles to Wichita.
To calculate how many days she drives from Wichita to Anchorage, we first need to determine the miles left to travel after reaching Wichita.
We subtract the distance to Wichita from the total trip distance:
- Total trip distance: 3,894 miles
- Distance to Wichita: 348 miles
- Miles left to travel: 3,894 - 348
Next, we divide the remaining miles by the distance she can cover each day:
- Miles left to travel after reaching Wichita: 3,546 miles
- Distance Lupe can travel each day: 394 miles/day
- Number of days needed to travel: 3,546 ÷ 394 = 9 days
Lupe will need to drive 9 days from Wichita to Anchorage at a rate of 394 miles each day.
