Complete question :

William travels only on Saturdays and Sundays and has flown 400 miles this month. Jason travels every weekday and has flown 500 miles this month. Who travels more miles per day for this month

Answer:

WILLIAMS ; 50 miles per day

Explanation:

Given that :

Williams travel times = Saturdays and Sundays

Total distance traveled = 400 miles

Jason travel times = Every weekday

Total distance traveled = 500 miles

Number of weeks in a month = 4

Hence, saturdays and Sundays = 4 * 2 = 8 days

Weekdays = 5 * 4 = 20 days

Miles traveled per day:

Williams :

Total distance / number of days

= 400 miles / 8 days

= 50 miles per day

Jason :

Total distance / number of days

= 500 miles / 20 days

= 25 miles per day

50 > 25

Hence, Williams travel more miles per day than Jason
