Victor takes a vacation to Yosemite National Park in California. He wants to hike the 16-mile Half Dome trail, the 5-mile Mirror Lake trail, and the 9-mile Snow Creek trail. Before starting his hike, Victor reviews a hiking article to make sure he is prepared. According to the article, to stay hydrated, he should drink 12 fluid ounces of water for every mile of hiking. How many fluid ounces should he drink in total over the course of all three hikes?

fluid ounces

1 answer

To determine the total amount of water Victor should drink for all three hikes, you first need to find the total distance he will hike and then multiply that distance by the amount of water he needs per mile.

The distances of the trails are as follows:

  • Half Dome trail: 16 miles
  • Mirror Lake trail: 5 miles
  • Snow Creek trail: 9 miles

Now, add the distances together:

\[ 16 \text{ miles} + 5 \text{ miles} + 9 \text{ miles} = 30 \text{ miles} \]

According to the article, Victor should drink 12 fluid ounces of water for each mile hiked. Therefore, to find the total amount of water to drink, multiply the total miles by 12 fluid ounces:

\[ 30 \text{ miles} \times 12 \text{ fluid ounces per mile} = 360 \text{ fluid ounces} \]

Thus, Victor should drink 360 fluid ounces of water in total over the course of all three hikes.
