Accepted Solution

A:
Emilio has to run for 5 days every weekStep-by-step explanation:The given is:Emilio has to run [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles every week to train for the football teamHe runs [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles every dayWe 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 = 5Emilio has to run for 5 days every weekLearn more:You can learn more about the fractions in brainly.com/question/8520610#LearnwithBrainly
