Wilbur was training for a race that was 6 1/4 miles long. He could only run 1 1/4 miles before needing to stop to take a break. How many times will Wilbur need to take a break during his run?

Please help

Alright let’s go step by step for this:

1.) 6 1/4 - 1 1/4 = 5

2.) If he can run 1 1/4 miles before needing a break you would have to divide that number into the subtracted number from above

5 ÷ 1 1/4

3.) simplify the equation

5 ÷ 1.25

4.) Then divide

5 ÷ 1.25 = 4

Hope this helped!
