Answer:

The Divisor is 6 miles

Explanation:

A Divisor is also defined as a number by which a another number called dividend is divided by with or without having a remainder.

Divisor ÷ Dividend = Quotient

We are told that Julie goes to the park and jogs a total of six miles every day. She jogs three-fourths of a mile at a time.

In 1 day = 6 miles

Spread throughout the day, or per time , Jules jogs 3/4 of a mile

To find out how many times she jogs in a day, 6 miles will be divided by 3/4

Divisor ÷ Dividend = Quotient

= 6 ÷ 3/4

= 8 times in a day.

Looking at the above, calculation, 6 miles is the Divisor.
