Question

Two girls scout troops are completing a wilderness campouts. The blue troops hikes 2/3 mile every 1/2 hour. The yellow troop hikes 3/4 mile every 1/3 hours

Answer 1

Yellow troop will complete the hike faster than blue troop

Blue troop hikes 1.33 miles in 1 hour

Yellow troop hikes 2.25 miles in 1 hour

Missing portion:

Since the final statement is missing, so we will find how much distance can the troops travels in 1 hour and which troop can complete the hike faster.

Explanation:

As given in the statement:

Blue troops travels
`(2)/(3)` miles ever
`(1)/(2)` hour:

`(1)/(2)` hr =
`(2)/(3)` miles

1 hr =
`((2)2)/(3)`

1 hr=
`(4)/(3)` miles = 1.33 miles

Blue troop hikes 1.33 miles in 1 hour

Yellow troops travels
`(3)/(4)` miles ever
`(1)/(3)` hour:

`(1)/(3)` hr=
`(3)/(4)` miles

1 hr =
`((3) 3)/(4)` miles

1 hr =
`(9)/(4)` miles =2.25 miles

Yellow troop hikes 2.25 miles in 1 hour

Yellow troop will complete the hike faster than blue troop
