Answer:3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we change 500% to fractions

Changing percentage to fraction is dividing the number by 100

500% = 500/100

Putting this we get 3/(500/100)

Then when a number is being divided by a fraction, to get the answer, we multiply the number by the inverse of the fraction

3/(500/100) = 3 x 100/500 = 300/500 = 3/5

KIM [24]

Given :

Time they traveled in a day , t=5\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{11}{2}\ hours .

Average speed , s=1\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{7}{4}\ mph .

To Find :

How far did they hike altogether in 4 days .

Solution :

We know , distance covered is given by :

d=s\times t \\\\d=\dfrac{7}{4} \times \dfrac{11}{2}\ miles\\\\d=\dfrac{77}{8}\ miles

So , distance covered in 4 days is :

D=\dfrac{77}{8}\times 4\ miles\\\\D=38.5\ miles

Therefore , distance they hike in 4 days is 38.5 miles .

Hence , this is the required solution .
