To find out how many hours it takes Tony to complete his hike, you can divide the total distance he hikes by the distance he covers each hour.
Total distance = 1312 miles
Distance per hour = 214 miles/hour
Now, divide the total distance by the distance per hour:
\[ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Distance per hour}} = \frac{1312 \text{ mi}}{214 \text{ mi/h}} \approx 6.13 \text{ h} \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ 1312 ÷ 214 \approx 6.13 \]
Converting 0.13 hours to minutes (0.13 hours × 60 minutes/hour ≈ 8 minutes) gives approximately 6 hours and 8 minutes.
From the options given, the closest response is 6 h.
