Answer 1

D 5.258

Explanation:

Let the number of kilometers that the group hiked yesterday be represented by "x". The question tells us that "x" was 0.01 kilometers more than they hiked last week. We also know they hiked 5.248 kilometers next week. Given this information, we can set up an equation.

x = 5.248 + 0.01 = 5.258

The group hiked D 5.258 kilometers yesterday.
