504 because when you multiply 9 by 8 and then by 7 (9x8x7) you get 504.
For this problem, we use the approach of ratio and proportion. Assuming that the given ratio of 444 days per 230 km is constant all throughout, we can determine the number of days or distance as long as one of the two is given. In this case, the solution is as follows:
444 days/230 km = 161616 days/distance
Distance = 83,720 km
