Question

Mike hiked to a lake in 5.5 hours at an average rate of 2 1/5 miles per hour. Pedro hiked the same distance at a rate of 2 3/5 miles per hour. How long did it take for Pedro to reach the lake? Round to the hundredths place.

Answer 1

Not sure whet da answer is but you’ll get it .

Answer 2

We first need to find the distance.

The information about Mike will provide the distance we need to answer the question about Pedro.

We will use D = rt

Mike:

(6.5)((17/5) = D

22.1 miles = D

Pedro:

D = rt

22.1 = (19/5)t

We need to find t.

22.1 ÷ 3.8 = t

5.8157894737 = t

We now round off as instructed.

5.82 = t

It took Pedro 5.82 hours to reach the lake.
