Asked by Secret Student
                Indira and Jean begin their hike at 10 a.m. one morning. They plan to hike from the 2 2/5-mile marker to the 8 1/10-mile marker along the trail. They plan to hike at an average speed of 3 miles per hour. Will they reach 8 1/10-mile marker by noon? Explain your reasoning. 
I had tried to add 8 1/10 and 2 2/5 then divide the sum by 3. 10 am? How do i do this please help asap. Due tomorrow!

    Let's convert these fractions to decimals.
They start at the 2.4 marker and end at the 8.1 marker
8.1 - 2.4 = 5.7 miles
5.7 / 3 = 1.9 hours
10 + 1.9 = 11.9 which is before noon.

    11.9 and that means that they will be there by noon or before noon
