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 he went jogging?

Answer 1

George joged 38 days.

Explanation:

George jogged a total distance of 9 and 1/2 miles. It means
`d = 9 (1)/(2) miles`

George only jogged 1/4 mile per day.
`v = (1)/(4) (mile)/(day)`

We have the total distance (d) and the average daily velocity (v). We can find the time dividing total distance by the velocity. It is shown below.

`v = (d)/(t) \\d = (d)/(v) = (9(1)/(2) )/((1)/(4) ) =((19)/(2) )/((1)/(4) )\\d = (19 * 4)/(2*1) = (19*2)/(1) = 38 days.\\`

Finally, we can conclude that George jogged 38 days.
