Emilio has to run for 5 days every week
Step-by-step explanation:
The given is:
- Emilio has to run [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles every week to train for the football team
- He runs [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles every day
We need to find he run for how many days
∵ Emilio has to run [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles every week
∵ He runs [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles every day
- Divide the total distance he has to run by the distance he can run
every day to find the number of days
∴ The number of days = [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ÷ [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
∵ [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{(7*2)+1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex]
∵ [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{(1*2)+1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
∴ The number of days = [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
- Change the division sign to multiplication sign and reciprocal the
fraction after the division sign
∴ The number of days = [tex]\frac{15}{2}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
∴ The number of days = [tex]\frac{30}{6}[/tex]
∴ The number of days = 5
Emilio has to run for 5 days every week
