The Quade Family drove 920 miles in 3 days. They drove the same number of miles the first 2 days and then drove 50 miles on the third day. How many miles did they drive on each of the first two days?

Explain how you found your answer. Show your work.

Okay so ...
They drove a total of 920 miles right ?
But on the last day they drove 50 miles ...
What you do is **subtract 50 **from the total number of miles
920 - 50 = ....
The answer will show you how many miles left over aside from the 3rd day.
**920 - 50 = 870 **
With the equation above you know for fact that in the first** 2** days they drove a total of 870 miles on their trip.
The next step is to divide the remainder of miles ( 870 ) by** 2 **days
**870 ÷ 2 = ? **
Your answer will tell you how many miles they drove on each of the 1st two days...
**870 ÷ 2 = 435 **
They drove 435 miles each on the first 2 days .
