To complete the table, we can first find the distance the hiker climbs in each hour by dividing the distance by the time. For 1 hour, the hiker climbs 2.4 miles. Therefore, for 1.5 hours and 2 hours, we can multiply 2.4 by 1.5 and 2, respectively.
1.5 hours: 2.4 * 1.5 = 3.6 miles
2 hours: 2.4 * 2 = 4.8 miles
So the table is:
Time (hours) Distance (miles)
1 2.4
1.5 3.6
2 4.8
2.5 6.0
Part C:
To find how much time it would take for the hiker to climb 12 miles, we can use the rate of 2.4 miles per hour. We can set up a proportion to find the time:
2.4 miles / 1 hour = 12 miles / X hours
We can solve for X by cross-multiplying:
2.4 * X = 12 * 1
2.4X = 12
Now we can divide by 2.4 to find X:
X = 12 / 2.4
X = 5 hours
So, it would take the hiker 5 hours to climb 12 miles.
Complete the table by determining the distance the hiker climbed in 1.5 hours and 2 hours.
