Mark breaks up a 9-hour drive into 3 segment. he drives 2 1/2 hours before stopping for lunch after driving some more he stops for gas if the second segment of his drive is 1 2/3 hours longer than the first segment how long did he drive after stopping for gas

After stopping for gas, Mark drive for . This is also called the third segment

Given:

Total hours driving is 9 hours

Divide into 3 segment:

1st segment 2¹/₂ hours (before lunch)

2nd segment (1²/₃ + 2¹/₂) hours (between after lunch before stopping for gas)

3rd segment (after stopping for gas) ?

Let's say the third segment is x, so we can get the equation as follow:

Total hours = 1st segment+2nd segment + 3rd segment

3rd segment = Total hours - ( 1st segment+2nd segment)

we are going to change the mixed fraction into proper fraction

because the denominator is different we need to find the common denominator which is 6

So after stopping for gas, Mark drives for hours.
