Jack completed 3/5 of his two-day trip in the first day. How much longer was the first day of his trip than the second day, if the whole trip was 350 miles long?

Answer :

Answer:  70 miles

=========================================================

Work Shown:

3/5 of 350 = (3/5)*350 = 0.6*350 = 210

Jack travels 210 miles on day 1

On day 2, he travels the remaining 350-210 = 140 miles

Subtract the values 210 and 140 to get 210-140 = 70

------------

One other way to get this answer is to break 350 miles into 5 parts

350/5 = 70

Each part is 70 miles

Three of those parts is for the first day, so 3*70 = 210 is how much he travels on day 1.

The other two parts are for the second day, so 2*70 = 140 is the amount he travels on day 2.

We do the same subtraction as before: 210-140 = 70 to figure how how much further he goes on day 1 compared to day 2.

Answer:

70 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the total trip = 350 miles

On the first day Jack completed 3/5 of his trip.

So the distance covered by him on the first day = [tex]\[\frac{3}{5}*350\][/tex]

= 210 miles.

On the second day he completed [tex]\[(1-\frac{3}{5})\][/tex]  of his trip.

= [tex]\[\frac{2}{5}\][/tex] of the trip

= [tex]\[\frac{2}{5} * 350\][/tex] miles

= 140 miles.

Difference between the distance covered on the first and second day is (210-140) miles = 70 miles
