Answer:
The correct answer is Jamal hiked [tex]14\frac{2}{3}[/tex] miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this math problem, you will need to convert mixed numbered fractions, into improper fractions.
To do that, you will need to multiply the whole number with the denominator (Ex: 5 × 3 = 15), then when you receive the answer, add the answer with the numerator (Ex: 15 + 1 = 16), finally, you should receive a new answer, and to finalize the improper fraction, you always need to keep the denominator the same (Ex: The denominator is 3 so use the new answer as a numerator replacement. [tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex])

After you have converted all the mixed numbers into improper fractions in the math problem, you are then able to use multiplication.

But first we have to calculate how long the second trail was.
[tex]\frac{7}{4} *\frac{16}{3} =7*\frac{4}{3} =\frac{28}{3} =9\frac{1}{3}[/tex] miles. Then, convert the mixed number into improper. ([tex]\frac{28}{3}[/tex])
--
Now add the number of miles of both trails.
[tex]\frac{16}{3} +\frac{28}{3} =\frac{44}{3} =14\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
With the result as: [tex]14\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
