Answer 1

The total number of miles wallked = 3.74 + 5.5 = 9.25 miles.
The amount his parent donated was $175,
amount pay for each mile = 175/9.25 = $ 18.92.

Answer 2

Answer:

amount paid for each mile = $ 18.9189189189  

Step-by-step explanation:

The total miles he walked on the 2 days charity walk is the sum of the first day  walk and the second day walk.

total miles = 3 3/4 + 5 1/2

total miles = 15/4 + 11/2

total miles = (15 + 22)/4

total miles = 37/4

total miles = 37/4 miles

The amount of money paid for each miles can be computed as follows:

amount paid for each mile = 175 ÷ 37/4

amount paid for each mile = 175 × 4/37

amount paid for each mile = 700 /37

amount paid for each mile = $ 18.9189189189
