Alicia, Carlos, Henry, and Zoe each completed a hike. The table shows their distances and times.
Hiker Distance Time
Alicia 5 1 half miles 1 2 over 5 hours
Carlos 8 1 over 8 miles 2 1 half hours
Henry 3 2 over 3 miles 1 1 over 10 hours
Zoe 4 2 over 3 miles 1 3 over 10 hours
Who hiked with the greatest rate?
A
Zoe
B
Alicia
C
Carlos
D
Henry
The correct choice is A. (Alicia) I took the test and got a 95% because i missed number 15
Alicia 5.5 miles in 1.4 hours maybe? ---> 3.93 miles/hr
Carlos 8.125 miles in 2.5 hours ---> 3.25 mph
Henry 3.67 miles in 1.1 hours ---> 3.34 mph
Zoe 4.67 miles 1.3 hours ---> 3.59 mph
yep your correct Almost 100% ty!
To find out who hiked with the greatest rate, we need to calculate the rate for each hiker. The rate can be found by dividing the distance hiked by the time taken.
Let's calculate the rate for each hiker:
Alicia: 5 1/2 miles / 1 2/5 hours = 5.5 / 1.4 ≈ 3.93 miles per hour
Carlos: 8 1/8 miles / 2 1/2 hours = 8.125 / 2.5 = 3.25 miles per hour
Henry: 3 2/3 miles / 1 1/10 hours = 3.667 / 1.1 ≈ 3.33 miles per hour
Zoe: 4 2/3 miles / 1 3/10 hours = 4.667 / 1.3 ≈ 3.59 miles per hour
Comparing the rates, we can see that Alicia hiked with the greatest rate of approximately 3.93 miles per hour. Therefore, the answer is option B: Alicia.
