Question

Sara has to travel from City A to City B. If she travels 5 km everyday, in how many days will she finish her journey?

• A. 29 days
• B. 290 days
• C. 25 days
• D. 20 days

Answer 1

The correct option is A 29 days

Distance between City A and City B = 145 km
Sara travels 5 km everyday.

So,
Number of days for Sara to finish her journey = Distance between City A and City B ÷ Distance traveled by Sara every day

⇒ Number of days for Sara to finish her journey = 145 ÷ 5

Solving by long division method, we get:

$$\begin{array}{c}29\\ 5145\\ -\underset{–}{10}2\\ 45\\ -\underset{–}{45}\\ 0\end{array}$$
So, Sara will finish the entire journey in 29 days.
