How many hours did they drive on the first day?
\n" ); document.write( "I'll assume they drove at the same rate every day.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Rate*Time=Distance
\n" ); document.write( "Time=Distance/Rate
\n" ); document.write( " $\"T=3000%2FR\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In this case,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"T=9D\"$ since they only drive 9 hours per day.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9D=3000%2FR\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"D=1000%2F%283R%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So if they drive 33.33 miles per hour,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"D=1000%2F%283%2833.33%29%29=10\"$ , it would take them 10 days.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
