Question

Jody has already hiked 4 kilometers. The trail is 12 kilometers long. If she hiked 2. 5 kilometers per hour. What function will help jody figure out how many more hours, h, she needs to hike

Answer 1

3.2h

Explanation:

• Jody has already hiked 4 kilometers, and the trail is 12 kilometers long.
• If she hikes at a speed of 2.5 kilometers per hour, we can calculate the remaining time needed to complete the trail.

Remaining distance = Total distance - Distance already covered

Remaining distance = 12 km - 4 km

Remaining distance = 8 km

Time = Distance ÷ Speed

Time = 8 km ÷ 2.5 km/h

Time = 3.2 hours

Therefore, Jody needs approximately 3.2 more hours to complete the hike.
