Question

Zagia is taking a bicycling trip across the United States. Her destination is 3, 150
miles away. If Zagia travels 90 miles per day, how far does she have left to travel
after 20 days of bicycling?
The distance left after 20 days is
miles.

Answer 1

Answer: The distance left after 20 days is 1350 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the distance, we use the formula:

$s=\frac{d}{t}$

where,

s = speed of the bicycle = 90 miles/day

t = time taken = 20 days

d = distance travelled = ? miles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$d=(90miles/day\times 20days)=1800 miles$

Total distance to the destination = 3150 miles

Distance travalled in 20 days = 1800 miles

Distance left after 20 days = [3150 - 1800] = 1350 miles

Hence, the distance left after 20 days is 1350 miles
