You drive from San Antonio to Houston, 1/3 the time at 20 mi/h and the other 1/3 at 68 mi/h, and the last 1/3 at 52mi/h. On the way back you travel one-half the distance at 35 mi/h and the other half at 55 mi/h. What is your average speed a) from San Antonio to Houston, b) from Houston back to San Antonio, and c) for the entire trip

a. 3/4 ÷ 1/8 = 6

step-by-step explanation:

in the question, the number line represents 3/4 divided into 6 equal units. each arrow represents a unit and there are a total of six arrows.

the size of each unit is 1/8 as shown.

showing that 1/8 divides 3/4 into 6 divisions:

3/4 ÷ 1/8

= 3/4 x 8/1

= 3/1 x 8/4

= 3 x 2

= 6

hence, the number line represents six divisions given by 3/4 ÷ 1/8.
