Question

Mike jogged a total distance of 5 and 1 over 3 miles during the months of october and November. if mike only jogged 1 over 6 mile every day, which expression shows the number of days in which he went jogging?

5 and 1/3 times 1/6
5 and 1/3 plus 1/6
5 and 1/3 subtract 1/6
5 and 1/3 divided by 1/6

Answer 1

the correct answer for this problem is D: 5 and 1/3 divided by 1/6


you can find this by figuring out that Mike has jogged a total of 5 1/3 miles over the course of October and November. If he only jogged 1/6 miles per day, you would need to find out how many days.

Adding 1/6 to 5 1/3 miles would mean Mike jogged an additional 1/6 miles.
Subtracting 1/6 from 5 1/3 would mean he jogged 1/6 miles less than 5 1/3 miles.
Multiplying 5 1/3 and 1/6 means Mike only jogged 1/6 of the total 5 1/3 miles
Dividing 5 1/3 by 1/6 will give you the number of days Mike jogged 1/6 miles
