(b) Work out how much further Richard travelled, compared to the previous day.

miles

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 150 miles

B. 200 miles further

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 30 by 5 to find how far he traveled the first day

30 x 5 = 150 miles

For the second day, convert km to miles by making a proportion

$\frac{5}{8}$ = $\frac{x}{560}$

x = 350 miles

Then, to find the difference, subtract the 350 - 150 = 200
