In the question it is given that the length of the blue lake trail is 11 3/8 miles. In the question it is also given that Gemma has hiked for a total time of 3 hours and each hour she has hiked 2 1/2 miles.
Now coming to solving the problem we get:
Total length of blue lake trail = 11 3/8 miles
= 91/8 miles
Distance hiked by Gemma in 1 hour = 2 1/2 miles
= 5/2 miles
Then the total distance hiked by Gemma in 3 hours = (5/2) * 3
= 15/2 miles
The distance left to cover the full trail = (91/8) - (15/2) miles
= (91 - 60)/8 miles
= 31/8 miles
= 3 7/8 miles.
So Gemma is 31/8 miles or 3 7/8 miles from the end of the trail.
Given:
Louise used 0.61 kilogram of flour each day for 3 weeks.
To find:
How many grams did Louise use in those 3 weeks?
Solution:
We know that,
1 kg = 1000 g
Flour used by Louise each day for 3 weeks = 0.61 kg
1 week = 7 days
3 week = 21 days
Flour used by Louise for 3 weeks (21 days) = (21 × 0.61) kg
= 12.81 kg
= (12.81 × 1000) [ 1 kg = 1000 g]
= 12810 g
Therefore, flour used by Louise for those 3 weeks is 12,810 grams.
