Question

Inez is taking a bicycling trip across the United States. Her destination is 3,280 miles away. If Inez travels 80 miles per day, how far does she have left to travel after 25 days of bicycling?

Answer 1

Answer: The distance left after 25 days is 1280 miles

Explanation:

To calculate the distance, we use the formula:

`s=(d)/(t)`

where,

s = speed of the bicycle = 80 miles/day

t = time taken = 25 days

d = distance travelled = ? miles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`\text{d}=(80 \ \text{miles}/\text{day} * 25 \ \text{days})=2000 \ \text{miles}`

Total distance to the destination = 3280 miles

Distance traveled in 25 days = 2000 miles

Distance left after 25 days = [3280 - 2000] = 1280 miles

Hence, the distance left after 25 days is 1280 miles
