Answer 5

you could try to figure it out by saying.
let's use smaller and easier numbers:
say the trail was 10 miles long
and he hiked 1/2 of it. You know the answer should be 5
to get 5 you would do
1/2 * 10
so multiply the fraction times the length of the trail...
use that same idea on your real problem

3/8 * 2016

Answer 6

thank youu
