## anonymous one year ago Hanna is going on a 8-day hike of 82.5 miles . she plans to hike 8.25 hours everyday for each of those 8 days . how many miles will she cover each hour of her trip ?

First, find how many hours she's going to be spending. $\large \sf Hours~per~day \times Number~of~days~=~Total~number~of~hours$ And imagine there are spaces between the words because latex is acting up /:

I'm confused

4. anonymous

In what way?

5. anonymous

You said to find out how many hours she'll be spending how do I figure that out ?

6. anonymous

$\large \sf Hours~per~day \times Number~of~days~=~Total~number~of~hours$

7. anonymous

How many days are there? How many hours is she hiking per day?

8. anonymous

Its going to be 8 days & she will be hiking 8.25 hours during those 8 days . so your saying I should multiply 8.25× 8 ?

9. anonymous

Correct

10. anonymous

Okay I'll do that

11. anonymous

Okay I multiplied it and got 66.00

12. anonymous

Ok, good. Now all that's left is to find the miles per hour (what the question is looking for). We can find this with the formula $\bf Number~of~hours \times Miles~per~hour~=~Number~of~miles$

13. anonymous

Wait I have a question what does the 66 that I multiplied & got represents ??

14. anonymous

The total number of hours they are hiking

15. anonymous

So it should be 66 times 82.5 then ????

16. anonymous

We're looking for the Miles per hour. We already know what the number of miles is.

17. anonymous

Yeah it's 66 so what should I multiply it by ?

18. anonymous

Or should it be 8.25 times 66 ?

19. anonymous

Are u there ?

I was making dinner sorry. I am back now @Halia . $\bf Number~of~hours \times Miles~per~hour~=~Number~of~miles$ can be converted to $\bf Miles~per~hour~=~\frac{Number~of~miles}{Number~of~hours}$

Can we finish this off tomorrow ? I'm so exhausted and tired of doing math @legendarySadist
