My niece needs help with word problem

[tinkersusan]

Ms. Bishop and Ms. Delorio went on vacation and they drove a total of 740 miles. If we drove the same amount of miles each day, how many miles did we drive each days?

Please ask your niece if she knows how many days they drove.

Divide the total miles by the number of days, to get the number of miles driven each day.

Example: If they drove 10 days, then they drove 74 miles per day because 740/10=74

Unfortunately the problem was worded exactly as it was posted. No other information was given which is why she is having so much trouble.

Bad questions are not helpful. Please go back to the instructor and challenge the question. Do NOT let it go.

I would like to thank you all for your help with this word problem. This problem does not give enough information to get the answer. I will print the responses to this post for her (my niece) to attach to her homework page.
