Question

Mr.jones drove his car 12836 miles in 9 months.What is the average distance he drove per month?

Answer 1

`x=1426.22` mi/month

Explanation:

Let x be the average distance.

Given:

Jones drove his car 12836 miles in 9 months.

We need to find the average distance he drove per month?

Solution:

We find the average distance per month by dividing the total distance and time

The average distance per month =
`(Total\ distance)/(Time)`

`x = (d)/(t)`

Total distance d = 12836 miles

Time t = 9 month

`x=(12836)/(9)`

`x=1426.22` mi/month

Therefore, Mr. Jones drove his car 1426.22 miles per month.
