anonymous one year ago Hillary jogged a total distance of 7 and 1 over 3miles during the months of October and November. If Hillary only jogged 1 over 6mile every day, which expression shows the number of days she went jogging? 7 and 1 over 3 multiplied by 1 over 6 7 and 1 over 3 plus 1 over 6 7 and 1 over 3 minus 1 over 6 7 and 1 over 3 divided by 1 over 6

Divide the total distance by the number of miles jogged per day.

It might help to convert 7 & 1/3 into an improper fraction. Do you know how to do that?

11. anonymous

a little :(

12. jim_thompson5910

multiply the denominator 3 with the whole part 7 to get 21 then add on the numerator: 21+1 = 22 so $\Large 7 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{22}{3}$ make sense?

ya

14. jim_thompson5910

now divide 22/3 over 1/6

15. jim_thompson5910

that is the same as saying 22/3 times 6/1

16. anonymous

ssooo what do i have to do now

17. jim_thompson5910

multiply 22/3 times 6/1

18. anonymous

44

19. jim_thompson5910

20. jim_thompson5910

44 is correct

21. anonymous

22. jim_thompson5910

so what is the answer these r the choices 7 and 1 over 3 multiplied by 1 over 6 7 and 1 over 3 plus 1 over 6 7 and 1 over 3 minus 1 over 6 7 and 1 over 3 divided by 1 over 6

24. jim_thompson5910

well like I said above: Divide the total distance by the number of miles jogged per day.

25. jim_thompson5910

$\Large \text{Answer} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Miles jogged per day}}$
