Question

I am learning this in class but I don’t understand it please help

Answer 1

The quotient is; (the whole number)

`6`

and the remainder is;(numerator of the fraction)

`5`

Each day they will hike:

`6(5)/(12)`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, it was given that they have to hike a total of 77 miles in 12 days.

total distance = 77 miles

Total time = 12 days

To get the distance they will hike per day, we will divide the total distance by the total time.

`\begin{gathered} r=(77)/(12)=(72+5)/(12) \\ r=(72)/(12)+(5)/(12) \\ r=6+(5)/(12) \\ r=6(5)/(12) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, The quotient is; (the whole number)

`6`

and the remainder is;(numerator of the fraction)

`5`
