Question

If Spain did kidnap or kill the colonists they would have to travel 540 miles if they could travel 70 miles a day how long would it have taken to arrive at Roanoke Island

Answer 1

Answer: It would take approximately 77 days to arrive at Roanoke Island.

Explanation:

Given : Total distance need to be traveled = 540 miles

If they travel 70 miles per day , the number of days require to cover above distance = $(\text{Total distance]} )\div 70\ \text{ miles}$

$=(540\div 70)\text{ miles}$

$= 77.142\approx77\text{ days}$

Hence, it would take approximately 77 days to arrive at Roanoke Island.
