75 % of the drive is 0.75 x 932.4 miles which is 699.3 miles which if divided by two equals about 350 miles per day will allow her to reach her objective so the result is obtained by just doing simple math according to the total distance and the 75% and dividing the result by 2 days.

For this case we can make the following rule of three:
 932.4 miles -----------> 100%
 x -------------------------> 75%
 From here, we clear the value of x.
 We have then:
 [tex]x = \frac{75}{100} * (932.4) [/tex]
 [tex]x = 699.3 miles [/tex]
 We now divide the result between two to find the distance traveled for each day
 We have then:
 [tex]r = \frac{699.3}{2} [/tex]
 [tex]r = 349.65 \frac{miles}{day} [/tex]
 Answer:
 the distance she should drive on each of the first two days is:
 [tex]r = 349.65 \frac{miles}{day} [/tex]
