​

Answer 1

Parker family drove 120 miles on the first day

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total miles driven on the road trip= 180 miles

solution:

Lets assume the distance drove on the first day is x

The total distance covered on the road trip is 180 miles.  so,

$(x) *1.5 = 180$

$x=\frac{180}{1.5}$

Hence, x = 120.

The distance travelled on the first day is 120 miles.
