Answer 1

2.1 miles

Explanation:

The problem wants you to find 12% of 17.4 miles, which is how far they hiked on the second day. To do this you multiply 17.4 by 0.12.

17.4 * 0.12 = 2.08800

Rounded to the nearest 10th of a mile (tenth) would be 2.1 miles.

Therefore the group hiked a total of 2.1 miles on the second day.
