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!

Maybe a typo? 930/5 is correct, and 235 happens to be 940/4
