Micheal is on a canoe trip on the saint johns river. he travels the entire 285-mile length of the river. if he canoes 35 miles each day, how many miles will he travel on the last day to reach the end?

hero (hero):

Hint: Divide 235/35

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you trying to say divide 285/35?

hero (hero):

Yes. That will let you know how many days he went 35 miles

hero (hero):

Let me know how many days you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got around 8 days

hero (hero):

And 35*8 = 280

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly: 8.14285714 LOL

hero (hero):

So on the 9th day, how many miles did he trek?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

See I'm confused....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do I do with the 8?

hero (hero):

I already did it for you. I multiplied it times 35 to figure out how far he traveled for the first 8 days.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh wow I feel so dumb! So that means he will have 5 more miles
