Answer 2

285.2 miles per day.

Explanation:

We have been given that a trip from New York to Seattle is 2852.1 miles. A family wants to make the drive in ten days.

To find the distance traveled by the family each day, we will divide total distance by 10 as:

`\text{Distance traveled by the family each day}=\frac{2852.1\text{ miles}}{\text{ 10 days}}`

`\text{Distance traveled by the family each day}=\frac{285.21\text{ miles}}{\text{day}}`

`\text{Distance traveled by the family each day}\approx \frac{285.2\text{ miles}}{\text{day}}`

Therefore, the family will drive 285.2 miles per day.
