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:  

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
