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
4 and 1 over 2 – 1 over 8

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= miles

Distance drove by Parker each day = 1 over 8 mile= 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.

Also, the distance traveled by Parker each day is:

                      1 over 8 miles i.e.

The number of days he went driving is:

Ratio of the total distance to distance traveled each day.

i.e.

Number of days is:  

answer is 144
