Word Problem:
A family is planning a road trip from Atlanta to Los Angeles. They want to split the driving time equally among all the family members. If there are 6 family members and the total driving distance from Atlanta to Los Angeles is 2,500 miles, how many miles should each family member drive?
Solution:
To find the number of miles each family member should drive, we need to divide the total driving distance (2,500 miles) by the number of family members (6).
2,500 miles ÷ 6 family members = 416.67 miles
Each family member should drive approximately 416.67 miles.
