Question

Parker drove a total distance of 4 and 1 over 2 miles during the months of June and July. If Parker only drove 1 over 8 of a mile every day, which expression shows the number of days he went driving? 4 and 1 over 2 ⋅

Answer 1

36 days

Explanation:

Total distance driven = 4 1/2 miles = 9/2 miles

Months of June and July ;

Miles driven per day = 1/8

Number of days Parker went driving :

Total miles driven / miles driven per day

9/2 miles ÷ 1/8 miles

9 /2 * 8 /1

(9 * 8) / (2 * 1)

72 / 2

= 36 days

Hence, Parker drove for 36 days
