Question

Sherri hikes on the Pacific Coast trail. She plans to hike 3.72 miles. If she hikes at an average speed of 1.2 miles per hour, how long will she hike?

Answer 1

3.1 hours

Explanation:

Average Speed=Distance Traveled ÷ Time Taken

Sherri plans to hike 3.72 miles at an average speed of 1.2 miles per hour.

• Average Speed=1.2 miles per hour.
• Distance =3.72 miles

Therefore:

1.2 miles per hour=3.72 miles ÷ Time

1.2 miles per hour X Time=3.72 miles

Time = 3.72 ÷ 1.2 hours

Time taken by Sherri=3.1 hours

Sherri will hike for 3.1 hours.
