Students are planning a 3 day hiking trip in the mountains. The hike covers a distance of 18.5 kilometers. The students hike 0.28 of the total distance the first day. If they split the remaining distance equally between the second and third days how far will they hike on day three?

Respuesta :

The students will hike 9.11 KM on day three.

Answer:

They hike 9.11 km on day three

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance traveled on a 3 day hiking trip in the mountains = 18.5 km

The students hike 0.28 of the total distance the first day.

So, Remaining distance = 18.5 - 0.28 = 18.22

Now we are given that they split the remaining distance equally between the second and third days

So, Distance traveled by them on third = Distance traveled by them on second day = Half of the remaining distance = [tex]\frac{18.22}{2} = 9.11[/tex]

So, they hike 9.11 km on day three
