I need help with practice problems!
It’s for a unit titled “conversions and geometry”
Here’s where I’m stuck:
You travel 320 miles over the course of 2 days.
a) How many miles are you traveling per day? How many days per 1 mile
b) You need to travel 930 miles to reach your destination. How many miles per day do you need to travel to get there in 5 days?
For the first one, I’m pretty sure the division gives me 160 miles per day and 0.00625 days per 1 mile. But for b…
I thought it would be 186 (930/5), but in class notes say 235
Whats accurate? How do I get the right answer?
Thanks!

I think the class notes are wrong, if you traveled 235 miles per day you would need ~3,9574468085 days to go the 930 miles
