Selma has to hike 11 miles to reach the top of Electric Peak in Yellowstone Park. After hiking 2.4 miles, she takes a break. How much farther does she have to hike?

Answer 1

To find out how much farther Selma has to hike after taking a break, we subtract the distance she has already hiked from the total distance to Electric Peak.

Total distance to Electric Peak: 11 miles
Distance hiked: 2.4 miles

Distance remaining = Total distance - Distance hiked
Distance remaining = 11 miles - 2.4 miles
Distance remaining = 8.6 miles

Therefore, Selma has 8.6 miles left to hike.
