Answer 2

Answer: 9.5 miles

Explanation:

Given : A group of friends were on a hiking trip they plan to hike a total of 38 miles .

They want to complete 25% of the hike by the end of the first day .

We can write 25% as 0.25 in decimal.

Now, the number of miles they should hike the first day will be :-

`0.25*38=9.5\text{ miles}`

Hence, the number of miles they should hike the first day =9.5 miles
