Question

Phoenix hiked the Rocky Path Trail last week. It took four days to complete the trip. The first two days she hiked a total of 26 miles. The second and third days she averaged 12 miles per day. The last two days she hiked a total of 28 miles. The total hike for the first and third days was 22 miles. How many miles long was the trail?

Answer 1

Answer:

50 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

let he hiked a,b,c and d miles on each of the four days respectively.

then, according to the question.

a+b=26...i

b+c= 24...ii

c+d=28...iii

a+c=22...iv

now, adding i,ii,iii,iv we get

2(a+b+c+d) = 100

a+b+c+d= 50 miles.

Hence, he traveled in all 50 miles.
