S
Parking lot: 3/4 mile
Summit: 1 and 1/2 miles
Mai says: "We are one third of the
way there." Clare says: "We have to
go twice as far as we have already
gone." Tyler says: "The total hike is
three times as long as what we
have already gone."
Who is correct?

Answer 1

Tyler is Correct

Explanation:

Total Hike = 2.25 (0.75 + 1.5)

2.25/0.75 = 3

Tyler is correct, since the total hike is 3 times as long as the distance travelled from the parking lot
