Question

Jackson traveled to California in his car. He traveled an average of 9 miles a day. Express the algebraic equation to find the number of days required if California is 999 miles from his home.

• A. $x\times 9=999$
• B. $x÷9=999$
• C. $x+9=999$
• D. $x-9=999$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $x\times 9=999$

Distance from Jackson's home to California $=999$ miles

Let the number of days required be $x$

Distance traveled per day = 9 miles

$\Rightarrow$ Number of days required $\times$ Distance traveled per day = Distance from Jackson's home to California

$\Rightarrow x\times 9=999$
