To determine how many days James can drive using 36 gallons of gas, we need to divide the total amount of gas he has by the amount of gas he uses per day.
James uses 8 gallons of gas per day, and he has 36 gallons of gas.
So, we calculate:
\[
\text{Number of days} = \frac{\text{Total gallons}}{\text{Gallons per day}} = \frac{36 \text{ gallons}}{8 \text{ gallons/day}} = 4.5 \text{ days}
\]
Now, to match this to the given options, we can convert 4.5 into a fraction:
\[
4.5 = \frac{9}{2}
\]
Thus, the answer is \(\frac{9}{2}\).
