Answer 1

248 miles will be traveled each day

5 miles will remain.

Explanation:

Total trip = 1493 miles.

To divide the trip evenly over 6 days means to divide 1493 miles by 6 days. This gives:

`(1493)/(6)` = 248
`(5)/(6)`

This shows that 248 miles will be traveled each day and;

5 miles will remain
