Parker drove a total distance of 4 and 1 over 2 miles during the months of June and July. If Parker only drove 1 over 8 of a mile every day, which expression shows the number of days he went driving?

4 and 1 over 2 ⋅ 1 over 8

4 and 1 over 2 + 1 over 8

4 and 1 over 2 ÷ 1 over 8

Answer: 4 and 1 over 2 ÷ 1 over 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that : Total distance drove by Parker =4 and 1 over 2 miles=\(4\frac{1}{2}\) miles

Distance drove by Parker each day = 1 over 8 mile=\(\frac{1}{8}\) mile

To find the total number of days , we need to divide the total distance by the distance drove by him in each day.

Thus, the number of days he went driving=4 and 1 over 2 ÷ 1 over 8

The expression that represents the number of days he went driving is:

4 and 1 over 2 ÷ 1 over 8

The total distance traveled by Parker in the month of June and July is:

4 and 1 over 2 miles i.e. \(4\frac{1}{2}\)

Also, the distance traveled by Parker each day is:

1 over 8 miles i.e. \(\frac{1}{8}\)

The number of days he went driving is:

Ratio of the total distance to distance traveled each day.

i.e.

Number of days is: \(\dfrac{4\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{8}}\)
