Question

In two trips, an airplane flew 5,882 miles in all. The

first trip was 2,203 miles long. Which distance is a
reasonable estimate of how many miles the airplane
flew on the second trip?

Answer 1

3679 miles

Explanation:

Total distance covered = 5882 miles

Distance covered on first trip = 2203 miles

Distance flown on second trip = total distance covered - distance covered on first trip

Distance flown on second trip = (5882 - 2203) miles = 3679 miles
