Answer 1

Each cyclist will need to drink 619 l

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!!

First, let´s convert the miles to kilometers:

If 1.0 mi = 1609 m, then 385 mi will be:

385 mi · (1609 m/ 1.0 mi) · (1 km/ 1000 m) = 619 km

Now, if each cyclist need to drink one liter water per kilometer ( I think that´s a lot of water!), for the entire journey each cyclist will need to drink:

619 km · 1 l/km = 619 l

Then, each cyclist will need to drink 619 l.
