Question

Angelina hiked along a 2,250-foot mountain trail. She stopped 5 times

along the way to rest, walking the same distance between each stop.
How far did Angelina hike before the first stop?

Answer 1

Angelina hiked 450 ft before the first stop.

Explanation:

She hiked along a 2250 foot mountain trail.

She stopped 4 times, she rested and after that stopped 5 times.

She walked the same distance between each stop.

It means 5 stops and the same distance with each time.

We need to calculate the distance between each stop. Total distance T = 2250 ft, and stops S = 5.

We can isolate the distance of each Stop E from:

T = S*E

E = T/S = (2250 ft)/(5)

E = 450 ft.

Finally, She hiked 450 ft before the first stop.

Answer 2

she hiked 450 feet before the first stop. divide 2250 by 5
