Question

Hanna is going on a 8-day hike of 82.5 miles . she plans to hike 8.25 hours everyday for each of those 8 days . how many miles will she cover each hour of her trip ?

Answer 1

@ccswims can you help me out again please ?

Answer 2

First, find how many hours she's going to be spending. \[\large \sf Hours~per~day \times Number~of~days~=~Total~number~of~hours\] And imagine there are spaces between the words because latex is acting up /:

Answer 3

I'm confused

Answer 4

In what way?

Answer 5

You said to find out how many hours she'll be spending how do I figure that out ?

Answer 6

\[\large \sf Hours~per~day \times Number~of~days~=~Total~number~of~hours\]

Answer 7

How many days are there? How many hours is she hiking per day?

Answer 8

Its going to be 8 days & she will be hiking 8.25 hours during those 8 days . so your saying I should multiply 8.25× 8 ?

Answer 9

Correct

Answer 10

Okay I'll do that

Answer 11

Okay I multiplied it and got 66.00

Answer 12

Ok, good. Now all that's left is to find the miles per hour (what the question is looking for). We can find this with the formula \[\bf Number~of~hours \times Miles~per~hour~=~Number~of~miles\]

Answer 13

Wait I have a question what does the 66 that I multiplied & got represents ??

Answer 14

The total number of hours they are hiking

Answer 15

So it should be 66 times 82.5 then ????

Answer 16

We're looking for the Miles per hour. We already know what the number of miles is.

Answer 17

Yeah it's 66 so what should I multiply it by ?

Answer 18

Or should it be 8.25 times 66 ?

Answer 19

Are u there ?

Answer 20

I was making dinner sorry. I am back now @Halia . \[\bf Number~of~hours \times Miles~per~hour~=~Number~of~miles\] can be converted to \[\bf Miles~per~hour~=~\frac{Number~of~miles}{Number~of~hours}\]

Answer 21

Can we finish this off tomorrow ? I'm so exhausted and tired of doing math @legendarySadist
