Well, first we need to work out how far they have travelled so far:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%284%2F13%29+%2A+5200+=+1600\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Take that away from the total trip gives us the remaining distance:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"5200+-+1600+=+3600\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "They have 10 days to cover 3600 miles, and we want to know how far they need to travel in 1 day:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"3600+%2F+10+=+360\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore they need to travel an average of 360 miles a day for the remainder of the trip. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
