Cheyenne will drive 3,000 miles across Interstate 90. She plans to drive 7 hours each day averaging 60 miles per hour. What is the least number of days the trip will take?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Applying the distance formula:
\n" ); document.write( "d = rt
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "d is distance traveled
\n" ); document.write( "r is rate or speed
\n" ); document.write( "t is time
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Each day Cheyenne travels:
\n" ); document.write( "7*60 = 420 miles
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Number of days, then, to travel 3000 miles:
\n" ); document.write( "3000/420 = 7.143
\n" ); document.write( "Since she takes MORE than 7 days, the \"least\" number of days then is
\n" ); document.write( "8 days (answer)
\n" ); document.write( "
