![**Equation Solutions:**
1. **Equation 1:**
- Equation: \( x \div 2 = -2.6 \)
Steps:
- Multiply both sides by 2:
\[
x = -2.6 \times 2
\]
- Result:
\[
x = -5.2
\]
2. **Equation 2:**
- Equation: \( x \div \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{4} \)
Steps:
- Multiply both sides by \(\frac{1}{2}\):
\[
x = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{2}
\]
- Result:
\[
x = \frac{3}{8}
\]
**Word Problem:**
33) You were in the car for 4.5 hours and averaged 70 miles per hour. How many miles did you travel?
**Solution:**
To find the total distance traveled, use the formula:
\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Time} \times \text{Speed}
\]
Given:
- Time = 4.5 hours
- Speed = 70 miles per hour
Calculation:
\[
\text{Distance} = 4.5 \times 70 = 315 \text{ miles}
\]
The total distance traveled is 315 miles.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2ec8b82b-da60-4566-830c-4b1d623be5db%2F6cb49bb4-2cf5-4339-b945-2ce425c25818%2Fchgtofp_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
