Complete the table by determining the distance the hiker climbed in 1.5 hours and 2 hours.

​Time (hours) Distance (miles)​
1 2.4
1.5 blank
2 blank
2.5 6.0
Part C.How much time would it take for the hiker to climb 12 miles?
Hours:

1 answer

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.
