Question

A hiker averages 6 3/8 kilometers per hour. If he hikes 11/15 hours, how many kilometers does he hike?

Answer 1

34 km

Explanation:

Distance = rate x time

= 6 and 3/8 times 5 and 1/3

= 51/8 times 16/3

= 17 times 2 <---- 51 cancels 3 and 18 cancels 8

= 34 km

Answer 2

Distance = rate x time

= 6 and 3/8 times 5 and 1/3

= 51/8 times 16/3

= 17 times 2 <---- 51 cancels 3 and 18 cancels 8

= 34 km
