Question

If i hiked 5 2/10 kilometers in one weekend and the next week i hike 9/10 kilometer more than then the week before how many kilometers did i walk the second week

Answer 1

6
`(1)/(10)` kilometers

Explanation:

From the given question, it can be inferred that;

In the first weekend, distance covered = 5
`(2)/(10)` kilometers.

But in the second week or following weekend, I hike
`(9)/(10)` more than the first week implies that, total distance covered in the second week = distance covered in the first week +
`(9)/(10)`

= 5
`(2)/(10)` +
`(9)/(10)`

=
`(52)/(10)` +
`(9)/(10)`

=
`(52 + 9)/(10)`

=
`(61)/(10)`

= 6
`(1)/(10)`

Therefore, the total distance walked in the second week is 6
`(1)/(10)` kilometers.
