Question

Karl participated in a two-day charity walk. His parents donated money for each mile he walked. Karl walked 2 1 4 miles on the first day and 5 1 2 miles on the second day. His parents donated $62. How much money did his parents pay for each mile?

Answer 1

Answer:

$8/mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance walked was 2  1/4 mi  +  5  1/2 mi = 7  3/4 mi.  Please note: you must use the " / " symbol to indicate division;  "2 1 4" is unclear.

                                           $62

Unit rate = $ per mile = --------------- = $8/mile

                                        7  3/4 mi
