Answer 1

Answer: They will hike exactly 16 miles each day for 4 days.

Explanation:

Given: Total distance to hike = 72 miles

They hike 16 miles per day.

Total days they will take to complete the distance =
`\frac{\text{Total distance to hike}}{\text{Distance hiked each day}}`

`=(72)/(16)\\\\=(9*8)/(2*8)=\frac92\\\\=4\frac12`

It will take 4 complete days and a half day to complete the journey.

i.e. They will hike exactly 16 miles each day for 4 days.
