Question 836046
Using d as distance for the whole trip,

DAY Number___________Remaining Distance
1____________________{{{(3/4)d}}}
2____________________{{{(1/2)(3/4)d=highlight((3/8)d)}}}
3____________________{{{(3/8)d-(2/3)(3/8)d=(3/3)(3/8)d-(2/3)(3/8)d=highlight((1/8)d)}}}
4____________________0, trip done by end of day 4.


The first day and the third day, the same amount of distance was covered, one-fourth of d each of those days.  Day 2 was the most distance covered.  I figured through computing in my head, looking at the remaining distances for each day.  Try this written if you need to.



The description also indicates, {{{(1/8)d=12}}}.
