Question: On Rudolph's car trip across town, he traveled 2 more than 5 miles and encountered 3 less than 17 stop signs. How many stop signs per mile did Rudolph encounter on his trip across town? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
He traveled 2 more than 5 miles, or 5 + 2 = 7 miles. He encountered 3 less than 17 stop signs, or 17 - 3 = 14 stop signs. Thus, during his trip across town, Rudolph encountered 14 / 7 = 2 stop signs per mile. So the answer is 2.
