Lara hiked for 2 hours.

A cup contains 8 fluid ounces so the total number of ounces that Lara had before the hike was:

= Number of cups x fluid ounces per cup

= 4 x 8

= 32 fluid ounces

After the hike, Lara was left with 12 fluid ounces which means that she consumed:

= 32 - 12

= 20 fluid ounces

She drank 10 fluid ounces per hour so the total number of hours she hiked were:

= Number of fluid ounces consumed / Fluid ounces per hour

= 20 / 10

= 2 hours
