In four days, your family drives 5/7 of a trip. your rate of travel is the same throughout the trip. the total trip is 1250 miles. in how many more days will you reach your destination?
Accepted Solution
A:
You'll reach destination in 1.6 days or rounded to 2 days. ->calculate how much did you pass already 1250×5/7=892 miles traveled (rounded) ->then calculate how much miles you have to go 1250-892=358 miles left to travel ->then calculate speed at which you travel 892/4(how much days you traveled already)=223miles per day ->then just divide miles left with speed 358/223=1.6 or 2 days left to reaching destination.
