Answer:
The caravan traveled 16 miles each day
Step-by-step explanation:
The caravan covers a distance of 1378 miles in 85 days. The first day he covered a distance of 22 miles and the second day it covered a distance of 28 miles. The remaining days will be 85 days minus the 2 days we already know the distance the caravan covered which is 83 days.
According to the question the remaining days he covered has equal distance for each day.
let y = miles covered each day in the remaining 83 days
So total distance covered in those 83 days is 83 × y
Total distance covered for 85 days = 1378 miles
first day = 22 miles
second day = 28 miles
Remaining 83 days = 83 × y
1378 = 22 + 28 + 83 × y
1378 - 22- 28 = 83y
1328 = 83y
y = 1328/83
y = 16
