The family covered the distance in each day is \boxed{\bf 285.2\text{\bf\ miles}}.

Further explanation:

The first digit on the right of decimal known as tenths or can say \frac{1}{10}.  

The second digit on the right of decimal known as hundredth or can say \frac{1}{100}.  

Procedure used:

The following steps are involved to calculate the distance covered in one day.

1) First divide the unit by 10 to obtain the distance covered in one day.

2) Now represent the resultant fraction into decimal form by moving the decimal one time to the left.

3) Now round the answer into nearest tenth of a mile.

Given:

A trip from New York city to Seattle is 2852.1\text{ miles}. A family wants to complete their trip in 10\text{ days}.

Calculation:

Step 1:

Consider the total distance covered as x\text{ miles}  in y\text{ days}.

Then, the distance covered in 1\text{ day} can be calculated as follows:

\boxed{d=\dfrac{x}{y}}

Here, d represents the distance covered in 1 day.

First divide the number 2852.1 by 10.

\boxed{d=\dfrac{2852.1}{10}}

Step 2:

Now follow the second step of the procedure.

The resultant fraction \frac{2852.1}{10} can be convert into decimal form as follows:

\boxed{\dfrac{2852.1}{10}=285.21}  

Here, we shifted the decimal one time to the left in the number 2852.1.

The nearest tenth of the 285.21 is 285.2.

Therefore, the family covered the distance in each day is 285.2\text{ miles}.

Thus, the total distance covered in one day is  \boxed{\bf 285.2\text{\bf miles}}.

Last Saturday, Niki went on a bike ride from her house to the park. The total distance she travelled on her bike was 3 1/5 miles
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

D. \frac{16}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

3\frac{1}{5}

To rewrite a mixed number as an improper fraction, first, multiply the whole number by the denominator.

3*5=15

Then, add this number to the numerator.

15+1=16

This number is now the numerator of the fraction. The denominator stays the same.

\frac{16}{5}

I hope this helps!

Oliver has 3 times as many rocks in his collection as Katie. Then Oliver collected 75 more rocks and Katie collected 105 more ro
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Katie had 15 rocks and Oliver 45 rocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditions

Katie has x amount of rocks

Oliver has 3x amount of rocks

The final amount of rocks

                                    Oliver = 3x + 75

                                     Katie = x + 105

Now, they have the same amount of rocks, then we can equal both equations

                                   3x + 75 = x + 105

Solve for x

                                     3x - x = 105 - 75

                                           2x = 30

                                             x = 30/2

                                             x = 15

Conclusions

At first Katie had 15 rocks and Oliver had 3(15) = 45 rocks
