Answer:

approximately 2.44 per hour, and 175.92 per day

Explanation:

We can use 7.33 as 7 and 1/3rd.

If you take 7.33 and divide by 3, representing 3 hours, it equals 2.44333333.

If you round this to the nearest hundredth, you get the answer 2.44

For each day, you take the original number, 7.33, and multiply it by 8 to assume that the trip was 24 hours.

7.33 * 24 = 175.92.
