Question

Karl participated in a two-day charity walk. His parents donated money for each mile he walked. Karl walked 5 1/4 miles on the first day and 2 1/2 miles on the second day. His parents donated $93. How much money did his parents pay for each mile?

Answer 1

We are given

Karl walked 5 1/4 miles on the first day

2 1/2 miles on the second day

so, we can find total walking distance

`=5(1)/(4) +2(1)/(2)`

`=(21)/(4) +(5)/(2)`

`=(21)/(4)+(10)/(4)`

`D=(31)/(4)`

we are given

total donated money is

`M=93`

now, we can find money pay for each mile

Money pay for each mile is

`=(M)/(D)`

now, we can plug values

`=(93)/((31)/(4))`

`=12`

So, his parent paid $12 for each mile............Answer
