Micah is planning a road trip. He estimates that he will drive a total of 71/2 hours. He wants to stop for gas after 1/3
of the total time has passed. How long will he drive before he stops for gas? Express your answer as a mixed number.
To find out how long Micah will drive before he stops for gas, we need to first calculate 1/3 of 7.5 hours.
1/3 * 7.5 = 7.5/3 = 2.5
So, Micah will drive for 2.5 hours before he stops for gas.
Therefore, he will drive for 2 hours and 30 minutes before he stops for gas, which is expressed as a mixed number.
