Pete traveled 1,380 miles in two days. First day he traveled 1.5 times as far than the second day. How far did he drive the first day? I think its 920 miles.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

x= 2nd day 1.5x= first day x+1.5x=1380 Can you solve that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

think so

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Tell me what you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 552

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yes. That is x and remember x is the second day. The problem asks how far he travelled the first day and that is 1.5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 1.5 x 552 = 828

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Good for you!!
