can you please help me

Answer 3

I did this problem yesterday, but maybe it was with someone else.

How far does the hiker walk in part A? How far does the hiker walk in part B? How far does the hiker walk in part C? How far does the hiker walk in part D? What do you get when you add up those distances?

Note that the problem asks how far the hiker walked, NOT how far the hiker's ending point is from the starting point. If you walk around your block 1000 times, you'll have done quite a bit of walking, even if you didn't really go anywhere :-)

Answer 4

so do you add all the times he walked or? idk

Answer 10

You're welcome. One of the valuable things learned in math instruction is not any particular formula, technique or theorem, but the importance of careful reading of the problem and attention to detail while working. I think you'll agree that when you do that, this becomes a pretty simple problem, right?
