Question

The pirates want to cover 2000 km in 50 days. If they cover the entire distance equally, how much distance will they cover everyday?

• A. $35$ km
• B. $40$ km
• C. $45$ km
• D. $50$ km

Answer 1

The correct option is B $40$ km

Total distance to be covered by priates = $2000$ km.
Number of days remaining = $50$.
The pirates are travelling same distance everyday.

∴ Distance travelled equally will be = $2000÷50$ km.

Now, look at the box diagram for this division.

You get the final quotient as $40$.

So, the pirates will travel $40$ km everyday to cover the entire distance in the given time.
