Pete traveled 1380 miles in two daysthe first day he traveled 1.5 times as far as he did the second dayhow far did he drive on the first day?

Let x be the miles that Pete traveled on the second day, so he traveled 1.5x miles on the first day. So we have:

1.5x + x = 1,380

2.5x = 1,380

2.5x/2.5 = 1,380/2.5

x = 552

1.5x = 1.5 x 552

1.5x = 828

Thus, Pete traveled 828 miles on the first day.
