Question:

George jogged a total distance of 9 and 1 over 2 miles during the months of October and November. If George only jogged 1 over 4 mile every day, which expression shows the number of days in which he went jogging?

We know:

He jogged 9 1/2 miles during October and November

1/4 mile every day

Answer:

9 and 1 over 2 divided by 1 over 4

Answer 2

1/4x = 9 1/2
x = (9 1/2) / (1/4)......9 and 1/2 divided by 1 over 4 <===
x = (19/2) / (1/4)
x = 19/2 * 4
x = 76/2 = 38 days is how long he went jogging
