Question

Tonya drove 343 miles the first day of her trip. how many days will it take her to drive the remaining 1,200 miles if she continues at the same rate?​

Answer 1

3.5 days

Explanation:

Given

`Day\ 1 = 343\ miles`

Required

Number of days to drive 1200 miles

Represent as ratio:

`Day\ 1 = 343\ miles`

`Ratio = 1 : 343`

For 1200 miles

`Ratio = x : 1200`

Equate both ratios

`x : 1200 = 1 : 343`

Express as fractions

`x/1200 = 1/343`

Multiply by 120

`x/1200 *1200= 1/343*1200`

`x= 3.4985`

`x= 3.5` --- approximated
