Karl participated in a two-day charity walk. His parents donated money for each mile he walked. Karl walked 5 1/4 miles on the first day and 2 1/2 miles on the second day. His parents donated $93. How much money did his parents pay for each mile?

Respuesta :

We are given

Karl walked 5 1/4 miles on the first day

2 1/2 miles on the second day

so, we can find total walking distance

[tex]=5\frac{1}{4} +2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{21}{4} +\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{21}{4}+\frac{10}{4}[/tex]

[tex]D=\frac{31}{4}[/tex]

we are given

total donated money is

[tex]M=93[/tex]

now, we can find money pay for each mile

Money pay for each mile is

[tex]=\frac{M}{D}[/tex]

now, we can plug values

[tex]=\frac{93}{\frac{31}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]=12[/tex]

So, his parent paid $12 for each mile............Answer
