Question

Marcus hikes at a rate of 2 1/9 miles per hour. If he hikes for 6 hours, how many miles will he hike?

Answer 1

We have the following:

let s is speed, d is distance and t is time, therefore:

`\begin{gathered} s=(d)/(t) \\ d=s\cdot t \\ d=2(1)/(9)\cdot6 \\ d=(18+1)/(9)\cdot6=(19)/(9)\cdot6 \\ d=(114)/(9)=(38)/(3) \\ d=12(2)/(3) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the answer is the third option 12 2/3 miles
