Asked by Matt

George has a goal of walking 9/2 kilometers today. Each time he walks to school and back, he walks a total of 1/2 kilometers. What is the meaning of 9/2 divided by 1/2?

a. The speed in kilometers per hour that George needs to walk in order to reach his goal.
b. The fraction of George's goal that he accomplishes each time he walks to school and back.
c. How many kilometers George will have left to reach his goal after walking to school and back 1 time.
d. The number of times George must walk to school and back to accomplish his goal.

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)
