Jeremy swims 5 3/5 kilometers in a 7 day period. He swims the same distance each day. What distance does he swim?

PIT_PIT [208]

Since 5 3/5 can be turned into 28/5, then divided by 7/1, you will get 4/5. So Jeremy swims 4/5 of a kilometer each day.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{2} + 5x + 8 = 4 \\ = > {x}^{2} + 2 \times \frac{5}{2} \times x + \frac{25}{4} + \frac{7}{4} = 4 \\ = > ({x + \frac{5}{2} }^{2} ) + \frac{7}{4} = 4 \\ = > ({x + \frac{5}{2} }^{2} ) = \frac{9}{4}$
