George jogged a total distance of 9 and 1 over 2 miles during the months of October and November. If George only jogged 1 over 4 mile every day, which expression shows the number of days in which he went jogging?

Respuesta :

(9 and 1/2)/(1/4)= number of days he went jogging

Answer:

Number of days George went for jogging will be t = [tex]\frac{\frac{19}{2}}{\frac{1}{4} }[/tex] days

Step-by-step explanation:

George jogged total distance = [tex]9\frac{1}{2}=\frac{19}{2}[/tex] miles

Since George jogged per day = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] miles

Let total number days George jogged for = t days

Therefore, total distance jogged by George in t days = [tex](\frac{1}{4})\times t[/tex] miles

Total distance given as [tex]\frac{19}{2}[/tex] miles will be equal to the distance traveled in t days.

Equation to determine the value of t will be

[tex](\frac{1}{4})\times t[/tex] = [tex]\frac{19}{2}[/tex]

t = [tex]\frac{\frac{19}{2}}{\frac{1}{4} }[/tex] days

Therefore, number of days George went for jogging will be t = [tex]\frac{\frac{19}{2}}{\frac{1}{4} }[/tex] days
