Question

Karl participated in a two-day charity walk. His parents donated money for each mile he walked. Karl walked 3 1/4 miles on the first day and 5 1/2 miles on the second day. His parents donated $175. How much money did his parents pay for each mile

Answer 1

This is quite simple. We will first add the amount of miles walked together.
3.25+5.5=8.75
Then we will divide 175 by the number of miles walked which in this case is 8.75.
Then we get 20 which is the amount of money that his parents donated for every mile that he walked.
