about 31 days for her to complete the race
Answer:
About 31 days
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Distance traveled by Shannon=2,912 miles
She travels distance per day=About 95 miles
We have to find number of days taken by Shannon to complete the race.
To find the number of days taken by Shannon to complete the race we will find the time taken by Shannon to complete 1 mile distance
Shannon takes time to cover about 95 miles distance=1 day
Shannon takes time to cover 1 mile distance=[tex]\frac{1}{95}[/tex] day
Shannon takes time to cover 2,912 miles distance =[tex]\frac{1}{95}\times 2,912[/tex]
Shannon takes time to cover 2,912 miles distance=30.65 days[tex]\approx 31[/tex] days.
Hence, Shannon takes time to complete the race=about 31 days
