Question

kwan drove 387 miles the first day and 409 miles the second day. If he drives about the same distance each day, approximately how many miles will kwan drive in 5 days?

Answer 1

This problem is really asking for you to estimate, rather than exactly calculate, the distance that Kwan drives.

 

distance = rate*time

 

Kwan drove about 400 miles each day.  So his daily rate is ≈400 miles per day.

 

distance = 400 miles per day * 5 days = _______?
