Question

Olivia enjoys hiking on rural trails near her home in California. She can hike 6 miles in 2 hours. How long would it take Olivia to hike 24 miles.

Answer 1

Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If Olivia can hike 6 miles in 2 hours, you can find out that she hikes 3 miles in 1 hour

I did this calculation:

2(hours)÷2= 1(hour)

so

6(miles)÷2=3(miles)

Next, you can divide the 24 miles by her miles per hour rate (3) which makes 8.

24÷3=8

This tells us that she can hike 24 miles in eight hours
