Question

The caribou’s spring migration takes 2 weeks. The longest recorded migration was 838 miles. How far did the caribou travel per day?

Answer 1

~ 60 days

Explanation:

We have 2 weeks. Since there are 7 days a week, 2 weeks is 14 days.

To find the number of miles walked per day, we need to divide the total number of miles by the total number of days:

838 / 14 ≈ 59.9 ≈ 60 days

Answer 2

59.85714285714286‬ miles a day ≈ 60 miles a day

Explanation:

To find this, we'd have to make the weeks into days.

2 weeks * 7 days = 14 days

Now we need to divide the miles traveled by the days:

838/14=59.85714285714286‬ miles a day or about 60 miles per day
