It looks like your question is missing a specific distance value in miles for the distance that the ferry travels across the river. Let’s say the distance is represented as \( x \) miles.
A ferry makes 27 trips across the river. Since each trip involves traveling across the river and returning back, each round trip consists of \( 2x \) miles (one way \( x \) miles and return \( x \) miles).
The total number of round trips can be calculated as:
- Total trips = 27
- Total round trips = 27 (since it goes across and back each time)
To find the total distance traveled in one day: \[ \text{Total distance} = \text{Number of round trips} \times \text{Distance per round trip} = 27 \times 2x = 54x \text{ miles} \]
So, if \( x \) is the distance in miles across the river, the total distance the ferry traveled in one day is \( 54x \) miles.
If you provide the distance \( x \), you can substitute it into \( 54x \) to find the total miles traveled. Otherwise, based on the problem as presented, the correct statement regarding the total miles in one day would be of the form \( 54x \), assuming this option exists. Please let me know if you have the specific distance value or any further context!
