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 in which he went jogging?

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of days George went for jogging will be t = $\frac{\frac{19}{2}}{\frac{1}{4} }$ days

Step-by-step explanation:

George jogged total distance = $9\frac{1}{2}=\frac{19}{2}$ miles

Since George jogged per day = $\frac{1}{4}$ miles

Let total number days George jogged for = t days

Therefore, total distance jogged by George in t days = $(\frac{1}{4})\times t$ miles

Total distance given as $\frac{19}{2}$ miles will be equal to the distance traveled in t days.

Equation to determine the value of t will be

$(\frac{1}{4})\times t$ = $\frac{19}{2}$

t = $\frac{\frac{19}{2}}{\frac{1}{4} }$ days

Therefore, number of days George went for jogging will be t = $\frac{\frac{19}{2}}{\frac{1}{4} }$ days

Answer 2

(9 and 1/2)/(1/4)= number of days he went jogging
