Question

Kendra hiked each day for a week the first day she hiked 1/8 mile the second day she hiked 3/8 mile and the third day she hiked 5/8 mile what is the wolf for distance Kendra hiked each day so how you can check your answer

Answer 1

The question requires us to find out by how much did Kendra increased her distance every day:
The first day she hiked 1/8 miles
the second day she hiked 3/8 miles
third day she hiked 5/8 miles
this can be written as arithmetic sequence given by:
1/8,3/8,5/8,...
the arithmetic difference will be:
3/8-1/8=5/8-3/8=2/8
This means that Kendra increased her daily distance by 2/8 miles
