Question

Two girls scout troops are completing a wilderness campouts. The blue troops hikes 2/3 mile every 1/2 hour. The yellow troop hikes 3/4 mile every 1/3 hours

Answer 1

Answer:

Yellow troop will complete the hike faster than blue troop

Blue troop hikes 1.33 miles in 1 hour

Yellow troop hikes 2.25 miles in 1 hour

Missing portion:

Since the final statement is missing, so we will find how much distance can the troops travels in 1 hour and which troop can complete the hike faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given in the statement:

Blue troops travels $\frac{2}{3}$ miles ever $\frac{1}{2}$ hour:

$\frac{1}{2}$ hr = $\frac{2}{3}$ miles

1 hr = $\frac{(2)2}{3}$

1 hr= $\frac{4}{3}$ miles = 1.33 miles

Blue troop hikes 1.33 miles in 1 hour

Yellow troops travels $\frac{3}{4}$ miles ever $\frac{1}{3}$ hour:

$\frac{1}{3}$ hr= $\frac{3}{4}$ miles

1 hr = $\frac{(3) 3}{4}$ miles

1 hr =$\frac{9}{4}$ miles =2.25 miles

Yellow troop hikes 2.25 miles in 1 hour

Yellow troop will complete the hike faster than blue troop
