Question

William travels only on Saturdays and Sundays and has flown 400 miles this month. Jason travels every weekday and has flown 500 miles this month. Who travels more miles per day?

Answer 1

Let's assume that a month has four weeks.

If William made 400 miles by travelling only on Saturdays and Sundays and there were 4 weekends during the month, then he travels 400 / 4 = 100 miles during a weekend, which is 100 / 2 = 50 miles a day.

If Jason travels every weekday during the month and he does 500 miles, then he travels 500 / 20 = 25 miles a day.

It means that William travels more miles per day.
