Answer:

If the ship didn't stop and went the same speed every day, without slowing down or speeding up, a 13000-mile trip going 650 miles per day, would take 20 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I found the answer was I took 13000 and divided it by 650 (13000/650) which was 20. I checked this to make sure it was correct by multiplying 650 and 20 (650x20) which was 13000 (the start number).

If you are into labels, or need it to be focused, here is labels (and a more organized explanation, tbh) : (m- miles, d- days)

13000m/650m = 20 d.

20d*650m = 13000. (this is when I checked to make sure it was still the same number)

Trip days - 20.
