Answer:

0.9 miles per member

Explanation:

Total distance = 9 miles

Number of members = 10

If they are to carry the food back for an equal distance, we have to fin

Distance covered by a person with the food pack = Total distance / Number of members

Distance covered by a person with the food pack = 9 / 10 = 0.9 miles per member
