Answer:

The expression that represents the number of days he went driving is:

4 and 1 over 2 ÷ 1 over 8

Explanation:

The total distance traveled by Parker in the month of June and July is:

4 and 1 over 2 miles i.e.
4(1)/(2)

Also, the distance traveled by Parker each day is:

1 over 8 miles i.e.
(1)/(8)

The number of days he went driving is:

Ratio of the total distance to distance traveled each day.

i.e.

Number of days is:
(4(1)/(2))/((1)/(8))

Answer: 4 and 1 over 2 ÷ 1 over 8


Explanation:

Given that : Total distance drove by Parker =4 and 1 over 2 miles=
4(1)/(2) miles

Distance drove by Parker each day = 1 over 8 mile=
(1)/(8) mile

To find the total number of days , we need to divide the total distance by the distance drove by him in each day.

Thus, the number of days he went driving=4 and 1 over 2 ÷ 1 over 8
