Answer: 6 miles!

Explanation:

There are 5280 ft in a mile (you can remember this by saying five to-mat-os haha). In total, Lauren walked 16,900+14,850= 31,750 ft. To find how many miles she hiked you would simply divide by 5,280. I plugged this division problem into my calculator and got about 6 miles.
