Question

Samantha and Felix are hiking a trail that is 36 miles long on the first day they hiked 1/3 of the trail how many miles did they hike

Answer 1

They hiked 12 miles on the first day

Here, we want to get the number of miles hiked

From the question, we have it that 1/3 of the trail was hiked

Mathematically, we have this as one-third of 36 miles

We have this as;

`(1)/(3)*36\text{ = }(36)/(3)\text{ = 12 miles}`
