Question

Mr. Herrera is going to

hike 117 miles over the
next 9 days. He will hike the
same number of miles each
day, but he will stop and
rest every 3 miles. How
many miles will Mr. Herrera
hike on the 6th day?

Answer 1

Mr. Herrera will hike 78 miles on 6th day.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of miles Mr. Herrera will hike in 9 days = 117 miles

Total Number of days =9 days

Let us first find the number of miles he will hike in 1 day

By Using Unitary method we get,

Number of miles Mr. Herrera will hike in 1 days=
`\frac{117} {9}=13\  miles`

We need to find miles hiked in 6th day.

Number of miles Mr. Herrera will hike on 6th day= Number of miles Mr. Herrera will hike in 1 days
`*` Number of days =
`13 * 6 =78`
