Question

Jack completed 3/5 of his two day trip in the first day.How much longer was the first day of his trip than the second day,if the whole trip was 350 miles long

Answer 1

First day trip was 70 miles longer than second day trip.

Explanation:

Total trip length = 350 miles

Jack completed 3/5 of his two day trip in the first day.

`\texttt{Distance covered in first day = }(3)/(5)* 350=210miles`

Distance covered in second day = 350 - 210 = 140 miles

Difference between distance covered in first day and second day = 210 - 140 = 70 miles

First day trip was 70 miles longer than second day trip.
