Question: 1 / 400

The Moellers drove 3,000 miles, traveling 1/8 of the distance on the first day and 1/7 of the remaining distance on the second day. How many miles remain to their destination?

2,200 miles

2,250 miles

To determine how many miles remain to the Moellers' destination after their travels, we start with the total distance of 3,000 miles.

On the first day, they traveled 1/8 of the total distance:

1/8 of 3,000 miles = 3,000 ÷ 8 = 375 miles.

After the first day, the remaining distance is calculated by subtracting the distance traveled on the first day from the total distance:

3,000 miles - 375 miles = 2,625 miles.

On the second day, they traveled 1/7 of the remaining distance (which is 2,625 miles):

1/7 of 2,625 miles = 2,625 ÷ 7 = 375 miles.

Now we calculate the distance remaining after the second day:

2,625 miles - 375 miles = 2,250 miles.

As a result, the number of miles remaining to their destination is 2,250 miles, which corresponds to the correct answer. This step-by-step breakdown illustrates how much was traveled each day and how to find the remaining distance by methodically subtracting the distances from the starting total.
