Question

George jogged a total distance of 9 and 1 over 2 miles during the months of October and November. If George only jogged 1 over 4 mile every day, which expression shows the number of days he went jogging?

Answer 1

I believe what you are looking for is... 9.5/.2= 47.5

Answer 2

Answer:

George joged 38 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

George jogged a total distance of 9 and 1/2 miles. It means $d = 9 \frac{1}{2} miles$

George only jogged 1/4 mile per day. $v = \frac{1}{4} \frac{mile}{day}$

We have the total distance (d) and the average daily velocity (v). We can find the time dividing total distance by the velocity. It is shown below.  

$v = \frac{d}{t} \\d = \frac{d}{v} = \frac{9\frac{1}{2} }{\frac{1}{4} } =\frac{\frac{19}{2} }{\frac{1}{4} }\\d = \frac{19 * 4}{2*1} = \frac{19*2}{1} = 38 days.$

Finally, we can conclude that George jogged 38 days.
