Using Ratios to Solve Problems - Item 1457 Question 4 of 7 Evan's family drove to a theme park for vacation. They drove the same speed throughout the trip. The first day, they drove 300 300 miles in 6 6 hours. The second day, they drove 250 250 miles in 5 5 hours. The third day, they arrived at the park after driving for 3 3 hours. How many miles did they drive on the third day?

150 miles

distance travelled on the third day = 150 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: it was given that they drove the same speed throughout the trip. That means their speed is constant for all days;

For the first day

distance = 300 miles

time = 6 hours

Speed = distance/time

Speed = 300/6 = 50 mph

on the third day;

time = 3 hours

Speed = speed on first day = 50 mph

distance = speed × time

distance = 50 mph × 3 hours

distance = 150 miles

distance travelled on the third day = 150 miles
