Answer:

1.75 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate how far the hike is going up the trail. They first hike 2 miles and then another 1.75 miles after resting so...

2 + 1.75 = 3.75 miles

The trail is 3.75 miles long, the question states that the return path is 0.5 miles shorter, therefore...

3.75 - 0.5 = 3.25 miles

Leaving us with a total hiking distance of

3.75 + 3.25 = 7 miles.

Since each hiker will carry 0.25 gallons for each mile we simply need to multiply this amount by the total number of miles in the hike.

7 * 0.25 = 1.75 gallons

Finally, we can see that each hiker will carry a total of 1.75 gallons of water for the entire hike.

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that if possible in the group of 101, each had a different number of friends.  Then the no of friends 101 persons have 0,1,2,....100 only since number of friends are integers and non negative.

Say P has 100 friends then P has all other persons as friends.  In this case, there cannot be any one who has 0 friend.  So a contradiction.  Hence proved

Part ii: EVen if instead of 101, say n people are there same proof follows as

if different number of friends then they would be 0,1,2...n-1

If one person has n-1 friends then there cannot be any one who does not have any friend.

Thus same proof follows.
