To estimate the total number of miles Lauren hiked that day, we can convert the total number of feet hiked into miles.
Since 1 mile is approximately equal to 5,280 feet, we can divide the total number of feet hiked by 5,280 to get the total number of miles.
Total feet hiked = 16,900 + 14,850 = 31,750 feet
Total miles hiked ≈ 31,750 feet / 5,280 feet = 6 miles
Therefore, Lauren hiked approximately 6 miles that day.
Lauren hiked 16,900 feet In the morning and 14,850 feet in the afternoon. Estimate the total number of miles Lauren hiked that day. Explain.
