Sagot :
The family covered the distance in each day is [tex]\boxed{\bf 285.2\text{\bf\ miles}}[/tex].
Further explanation:
The first digit on the right of decimal known as tenths or can say [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex].
The second digit on the right of decimal known as hundredth or can say [tex]\frac{1}{100}[/tex].
Procedure used:
The following steps are involved to calculate the distance covered in one day.
1) First divide the unit by [tex]10[/tex] to obtain the distance covered in one day.
2) Now represent the resultant fraction into decimal form by moving the decimal one time to the left.
3) Now round the answer into nearest tenth of a mile.
Given:
A trip from New York city to Seattle is [tex]2852.1\text{ miles}[/tex]. A family wants to complete their trip in [tex]10\text{ days}[/tex].
Calculation:
Step 1:
Consider the total distance covered as [tex]x\text{ miles}[/tex] in [tex]y\text{ days}[/tex].
Then, the distance covered in [tex]1\text{ day}[/tex] can be calculated as follows:
[tex]\boxed{d=\dfrac{x}{y}}[/tex]
Here, [tex]d[/tex] represents the distance covered in [tex]1[/tex] day.
First divide the number [tex]2852.1[/tex] by [tex]10[/tex].
[tex]\boxed{d=\dfrac{2852.1}{10}}[/tex]
Step 2:
Now follow the second step of the procedure.
The resultant fraction [tex]\frac{2852.1}{10}[/tex] can be convert into decimal form as follows:
[tex]\boxed{\dfrac{2852.1}{10}=285.21}[/tex]
Here, we shifted the decimal one time to the left in the number [tex]2852.1[/tex].
The nearest tenth of the [tex]285.21[/tex] is [tex]285.2[/tex].
Therefore, the family covered the distance in each day is [tex]285.2\text{ miles}[/tex].
Thus, the total distance covered in one day is [tex]\boxed{\bf 285.2\text{\bf miles}}[/tex].
