Question

Max walks a distance of 381 mi in 44 days. Approximate the distance he walks each day.

• A. 40 mi
• B. 10 mi
• C. 60 mi
• D. 20 mi

Answer 1

The correct option is B 10 mi

$\text{Number of days}=44$
$\text{Distance covered in 14 days}=381mi$

$Thus,$
$\text{Distance covered each day}=381÷44$

However, we can find the approximate value of the above problem by rounding down the divisor and rounding up the dividend.

$44\to 40$
$381\to 400$

$\Rightarrow 400÷40$
Thus, the approximate distance covered each day is 10 miles.
