Question

Jamie jogged a total distance of 6 and 1 over 2 miles during the months of March and April. If Jamie only jogged 1 over 6 mile every day, which expression shows the number of days she went jogging?
6 and 1 over 2 • 1 over 6

6 and 1 over 2 ÷ 1 over 6

6 and 1 over 2 + 1 over 6

6 and 1 over 2 − 1 over 6

Answer 1

For this kind of problems, first find the method to solve, then face the fractions.

If I jog 100 miles in a year, and I do 2 miles a day.  How many days did I jog?
We know easily that it is 100 days/ 2 miles/day = 50 days.
So the number of days is total distance / how much a day, or
(6 1/2) divided by (1/6)
