Answer:
The quotient is; (the whole number)
[tex]6[/tex]
and the remainder is;(numerator of the fraction)
[tex]5[/tex]
Each day they will hike:
[tex]6\frac{5}{12}[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question, it was given that they have to hike a total of 77 miles in 12 days.
total distance = 77 miles
Total time = 12 days
To get the distance they will hike per day, we will divide the total distance by the total time.
[tex]\begin{gathered} r=\frac{77}{12}=\frac{72+5}{12} \\ r=\frac{72}{12}+\frac{5}{12} \\ r=6+\frac{5}{12} \\ r=6\frac{5}{12} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, The quotient is; (the whole number)
[tex]6[/tex]
and the remainder is;(numerator of the fraction)
[tex]5[/tex]
