Daphne has 3 days to drive 932.4 miles. She wants to have completed about 75% of the drive
by the start of day 3. Which of the following is the closest to the distance she should drive on
each of the first two days?
A 230 miles
B 310 miles
C 350 miles
D 700 miles

Answer 1

C. 350 miles

Explanation:

Daphne wants to drive 3/4 of the distance in the first 2 days. So, her mileage per day should be about (3/4)/2 = 3/8 of the total mileage:

(3/8)(932.4 mi) = 349.65 mi ≈ 350 mi

She should drive about 350 miles on each of the first 2 days.
