Question

1.Find the quotient in simplest form. 9 divided by 2 1/4

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The quotient in simplest form is 4

2. It take him 8 minutes to run 1 mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

9 divided by 2 1/4.

Sean runs 3 1/2 miles in 28 minutes.

Now, to find the quotient in simplest form and the time it takes Sean to run 1 mile.

1.  9 divided by 2 1/4.

$9\div 2\frac{1}{4}$

Converting mixed fraction into improper:

= $9\div \frac{9}{4}$

Converting 9/4 into decimal:

= $9\div 2.25$

= $4.$

Therefore, the quotient in simplest form is 4.

2.  Sean runs 3 1/2 miles in 28 minutes.

Sean runs 7/2 miles in 28 minutes.

Now, solving it by unitary method:

Sean runs 7/2 miles in 28 minutes.

Sean runs 1 mile in =  $28\div\frac{7}{2}$.

= $28\div 3.5$

= $8\ minutes.$

Therefore, it take him 8 minutes to run 1 mile.
