Question

c. Using the table of distances, make up your own word problem that would require someone to use division to solve. Write the problem, and provide the solution.

Answer 1

Problem: A group of friends is planning a road trip from City A to City B. They have a total of 450 miles to travel, and they want to evenly distribute the driving time among themselves. If there are 6 friends in the group, how many miles should each person drive?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to divide the total distance (450 miles) by the number of friends in the group (6 friends).

450 miles ÷ 6 friends = 75 miles

Therefore, each person should drive approximately 75 miles.
