Question

Together Carla and Yvette drove from New York City to San Diego. The 2808 mile trip took them two weeks. Each week, they took one full day off from driving. On average, how many miles a day did Carla and Yvette travel on the days that they drove?

Answer 1

234 miles a day

Explanation:

The whole trip was for 2 weeks (7*2=14 days).

Since 1 day from each week they took rest, they drove for (14-2(1)=12 days) 12 days.

So a total of 2808 for 12 days. The average is 2808 divided by 12 days:

`(2808)/(12)=234`

The answer is 234 miles a day
