Answer 2

Are you trying to say divide 285/35?

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

Let me know how many days you get

Answer 5

I got around 8 days

Answer 6

And 35*8 = 280

Answer 7

Exactly: 8.14285714 LOL

Answer 8

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

Answer 9

See I'm confused....

Answer 10

What do I do with the 8?

Answer 11

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

Answer 12

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