Question

2.

Justify Reasoning Indira and Jean begin their hike at 10a.m. one
morning. They plan to hike from the 2-mile marker to the so-mile
marker along the trail. They plan to hike at an average speed of 3 miles
per hour. Will they reach the 80-mile marker by noon? Explain your
reasoning​

Answer 1

They will reach after 26 hours i.e tomorrow noon

Explanation:

Start time = 10 a.m

Starting point marker = 2 mile

End point = 80 miles

Distance to be traveled = 80 - 2 = 78 miles

Average speed = 3 miles per hour

Now,

Time =
`\frac{\textup{Distance}}{\textup{Speed}}`

or

Time =
`(78)/(3)`

or

Time = 26 hours

Therefore,

They will reach after 26 hours i.e tomorrow noon
