Question

Tina has earned a total o 9644 frequent flyer miles by taveling between twin falls and preston. she has made this trip 4 timed. how many miles is one trip between these two cities

Answer 1

The total distance covered is 9644 miles.

This has been covered after by making the trip 4 tmes.

A trip means you come back to the same position you left.

This means a trip is double the distance between the two cities

Let the distance between the two cities be x.

The 4 trips will will have a distance of :

2 × 4 × x = 8x

This is because the four trips will have a total of 8 times the distance between the cities.

Now 8x = 9644

x = 9644/8 = 1205.5 Miles
