Final answer:

The distance Abigail hiked is calculated by multiplying her hiking time of 1.75 hours by her average speed of 3.5 mi/h, giving a total of 6.125 miles which rounds to 6.13 miles. The correct answer is option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking to calculate the total distance Abigail hiked at Death Valley National Park. The formula to find distance when time and speed are known is Distance = Speed × Time. Given Abigail's hiking time of 1.75 hours and her average speed of 3.5 mi/h, we can use the formula to calculate the total distance hiked:

To find the number of miles Abigail hiked, we can use the formula:

Distance = Speed x Time

Given that Abigail hiked for 1.75 hours at an average speed of 3.5 mi/h, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Distance = 3.5 mi/h x 1.75 hours

Using the formula, we can calculate the distance:

Distance = 3.5 mi/h x 1.75 hours

Distance = 6.125 miles

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B) 6.13 miles.

Distance = 3.5 mi/h × 1.75 hours = 6.125 miles, which can be rounded to 6.13 miles.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B, 6.13 miles.
