Answer: I believe that the answer is c
9/2 divided by 1/2=9

I am not sure though. Can you please help me with this.
Your math is correct, but your choice is not

Think of (1/2) as a unit, like books, dollars, etc

9 of them divided by one of them is 9

9/2 km is the goal
1/2 is each trip
So, 9 is the number of trips needed to reach the goal: (D)
OF COURAE ITS B!!!
Sorry no
the speed in kilometers per hour that George needs to walk in order to reach his goal
your answer is B
I think its b
It is definitely B.
he number of times George must walk to school and back to accomplish his goal.
