Answer 1

First, let's represent the distance Triana will travel on each of the remaining three days as x.

Since she travels a total of 120 miles over four days, and she already traveled 24 miles on the first day, the total distance she will travel on the remaining three days is 120 - 24 = 96 miles.

Therefore, the equation representing the total distance she will travel on each of the three days is:

3x = 96

To solve for x, divide both sides by 3:

x = 32

Therefore, Triana will travel 32 miles on each of the remaining three days.

Therefore, Triana will travel 32 miles on each of the remaining three days because when you multiply 32 by 3, you get 96 miles, the total distance she needs to cover on those days.
