Question

Karl participated in a two-day charity walk. His parents donated money for each mile he walked. Karl walked 5 1/4 miles on the first day and 2 1/2 miles on the second day. His parents donated $93. How much money did his parents pay for each mile?

Answer 1

We are given

Karl walked 5 1/4 miles on the first day

2 1/2 miles on the second day

so, we can find total walking distance

$=5\frac{1}{4} +2\frac{1}{2}$

$=\frac{21}{4} +\frac{5}{2}$

$=\frac{21}{4}+\frac{10}{4}$

$D=\frac{31}{4}$

we are given

total donated money is

$M=93$

now, we can find money pay for each mile

Money pay for each mile is

$=\frac{M}{D}$

now, we can plug values

$=\frac{93}{\frac{31}{4}}$

$=12$

So, his parent paid $12 for each mile............Answer
