Answer:

She has 90.96 miles of the trail to hike.

Explanation:

Length of the trail:

The length of the trail is of 113.7 miles.

On the first day she hiked of 1/10 the distance of the trail.

Thus:


\frac{1}{10(113.7) = 11.37

On the first day she hiked 11.37 miles.

On the second day she hiked the same distance as the first day.

Also 11.37 miles on the second day, and thus, 2*11.37 = 22.74 miles on the first two days.

How much of the trail does she have left to hike?

113.7 - 22.74 = 90.96

She has 90.96 miles of the trail to hike.
