William travels only on Saturdays and Sundays and has flown 1,020 miles this month. Jason travels every weekday and has flown 1,200 miles this month. If each man travels about the same number of miles each day, who travels more miles per day this month?
Answer: William travels more miles per day this month.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
On Saturdays and Sundays , number of miles travel by William this month = 1,020 miles
As we know that
Number of Saturdays and Sundays in a month = 8
So, number of miles per day they travel is given by
\(\dfrac{1020}{8}=127.5\ miles/day\)
On weekdays, number of miles travel by Jason this month = 1,200 miles
As we know that
Number of weekdays in a month = 30-8 =22
So, Number of miles per day they travel is given by
\(\dfrac{1200}{22}=54.54\ miles/day\)
Hence, William travels more miles per day this month.
