Tom wants to drive to his friend's house. If he drives 359 miles a day, how long will it take him to drive 1,462 miles? Round to the nearest day.

5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = 359 miles/day

Distance = 1,462 mile

Use this formula to calculate time (in number of days);

Time = Distance / speed

Next, plug in the numbers given into the formula to calculate time;

Time = 1462 / 359 = 4.0724

Since you are told to round off in days, you will round up 4.0724 to 5 days.

Therefore, it will take Tom 5 days to drive 1,462 miles.
