A Correct answer
Explanation

Total distance = 1445 km. First 8 days distance = 8 * 129 = 1032 km. Remaining distance = 1445 - 1032 = 413 km. Remaining days = 15 - 8 = 7 days. Average = 413 / 7 = 59 km.

AI explanation

First, calculate the total distance covered in the first 8 days by multiplying the days by the daily average: 8 * 129 km = 1,032 km. Next, find the total distance covered in the remaining 7 days by subtracting this amount from the overall total distance: 1,445 km - 1,032 km = 413 km. Finally, find the average for the remaining days by dividing this remaining distance by 7, which gives 413 / 7 = 59 km.
