She would like to travel equal amounts over the remaining three days How far will she travel on each of those three days?

Answer 1

Let's denote the distance Triana travels on each of the remaining three days as "x" miles.

On the first day, Triana travels 24 miles. So, the total distance she has traveled after the first day is 24 miles.
The remaining distance she needs to travel over the next three days is 120 - 24 = 96 miles.

Since Triana wants to travel equal amounts over the remaining three days, we can write the equation:
3x = 96

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 96/3
x = 32

So, Triana will travel 32 miles on each of the remaining three days.

Sentence to explain the answer: Triana will travel 32 miles on each of the remaining three days, making her total distance traveled equal over the four-day bike ride.
