Question

Hank the hiker would like to go on a hike. He only has four hours available today for the hike. The expression

Answer 1

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time available for hike = 4 hours

Length of trail that hank would like to hike = 6 miles

Elevation gain of the trail = 3000 feet

The expression representing the time needed for hike is:

$t =\frac{1}{2}d+\frac{1}{2}e$

d = the distance/length of the trail = 6

e = elevation gain in thousands = 3

Using these values in the above equation, we get:

$t=\frac{1}{2}(6)+\frac{1}{2}(3)=4.5$

This means according to the guide Hank should allow him 4.5 hours for the hike. But since he has only 4 hours, he won't be able to complete the hike today
