Answer:
Explanation:
The total distance from the bright angel trailhead to plateau point is 9 3/5 kilometer. Converting 9 3/5 kilometer to improper fraction, it becomes 48/5 kilometers.
Elena starts at the trailhead, walks to plateau point. This means she covered a distance of 48/5 kilometers on reaching the plateau point.
While coming back, she rested after walking 12 1/3 kilometers. Converting 12 1/3 kilometers to improper fraction, it becomes 37/3 kilometers. It means that she has walked past the bright angel trailhead.
Her distance from the bright angel trailhead would be
37/3 - 48/5 = (185 - 144)/15 = 41/15 kilometers = 2 11/15 kilometers
