Question

Raul and his friends are hiking a 4-mile trail. After 2 hours of hiking, they turn off the path to find a spot for lunch, and then hike back to the trail and continue to the end. Write an inequality to represent x, the total distance they hiked.

Answer 1

Because they have to hike back to the trail head, and the track is circular, they must hike AT LEAST 4 miles.
so it should be 4<_y
there :)

Answer 2

So,

Making some major assumptions, such as the trail being circular, we can disregard the fact that "Group Raul" hiked 2 hours before taking a lunch break. "Group Raul" hiked off the trail (violating Leave No Trace principles) to find a lunch break spot. So they hiked at least 4 miles.

x > 4 miles
