Answer:
a = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
ai + bj and 5i - 2j are perpendicular and b = 3, that is
ai + 3j and 5i - 2j are perpendicular, then
The scalar product = 0 , that is
5a - 6 = 0 ( add 6 to both sides )
5a = 6 ( divide both sides by 5 )
a = 
The Answer to your problem is:
0.292
So in 30 min will hike 2 1/4 miles =9 of those 1/4 miles therefore in 10 min will hike 9/3 =3 of those 1/4 miles = 3/4 of a mile
3/4 mile in 10 min;
(3/4)• 4 = 3 miles in 40 min;
6 miles in 80 min;
9 miles in 120 min;
12 miles in 160 min;
15 miles in 200 min;
18 miles in 240 min or 4 hours
