On a cross-country road trip, a family drives 240 miles each day. write and solve an equation to determine how far the family has traveled after 4 days.

Well, first, let's label the variables for our equation:

240 Miles per day

Traveled for 4 days



Now, let's set up an equation to help us:

240x = ?

Since they're trying to figure out how many miles the family traveled after 4 days, and, they're going 240 miles each day, we should plug in a 4 where 'x' is:

240 ( 4 ) = ?

Now, we multiply:

240
× 4

800
+ 160

960

The family traveled 960 miles in 4 days.



I hope this helps!
