Answer 3

suppose the question was

he drove 10 miles in jun and july
he drove 2 miles a day
how many days did he drive

You can probably answer that - so you know HOW to do it

just substitute the more elaborate numbers from the question into the SAME method.....

Answer 4

The idea is for you to show YOUR work. Don't post questions with no work shown.

Answer 5

I think its c because he dorve

Answer 6

Notational Conventions:

4 and 1 over 2 ==> 4 1/2 = 9/2

4 and 1 over 2 divided by 1 over 8 ==> (4 1/2)/(1/8) = (9/2)/(1/8)

Make sure what you are writing is clear.

Answer 7

So wich is the correct answe

Answer 8

So its C correct ?? @tkhunny

Answer 9

you should not ask or expect answers here - you have the method explained - try to do the work yourself...

Answer 10

You must figure out how many (1/8) there are in (9/2). That sounds like a division problem.

Answer 11

Yea i did i said the same thing thats why i think its C @tkhunny

Answer 12

Perfect. Move on to the next problem with a little more confidence.

Answer 13

Ok but do you also think that it is C as well?

Answer 14

It doesn't matter what I think. It matters what it IS. Move on to the next one.
