Question

The distance between a big planet and a dwarf planet is 5854 miles. Elon and Ellie cover the distance in 2 days. Find the distance covered by them per day.

• A. 2929 miles
• B. 2927 miles
• C. 3927 miles
• D. 2427 miles

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2927 miles

Distance covered in 2 days
= 5854 miles.
Distance covered per day
= Distance covered in 2 days ÷ 2.
i.e. 5854 ÷ 2
$$\begin{array}{c}2927\\ 25854\\ -\underset{–}{4}2\\ 18\\ -\underset{–}{18}\\ 05\\ -\underset{–}{04}\\ 14\\ -\underset{–}{14}\\ 00\end{array}$$
So, Elon and Ellie covered 2927 miles per day.
