Q. Haruka hiked several kilometers in the morning. She hiked only 6kilometers in the afternoon, which was 25% less than she had hiked in the morning.How many kilometers did Haruka hike in all?kilometersReperta.problem
Identify Morning Hike Expression: Let m be the number of kilometers Haruka hiked in the morning.Identify the expression for 25% less than the morning hike.Expression for afternoon hike: m−25%(m)= m−0.25m
Set Up Equation: We found: Expression for afternoon hike is m−0.25mWe know: Value for afternoon hike is 6 kilometersSet up an equation to find m, the morning hike distance.Equation for afternoon hike is 6=m−0.25m.
Solve for Morning Hike: We found: 6=m−0.25m Solve for m. m−0.25m=6m(1−0.25)=60.75m=6m=6/0.75m=8 Haruka hiked 8 kilometers in the morning.
Calculate Total Distance: We found: Haruka hiked 8 kilometers in the morning and 6 kilometers in the afternoon.Calculate the total distance hiked by adding the morning and afternoon distances.Total distance hiked = morning hike + afternoon hikeTotal distance hiked = 8km+6kmTotal distance hiked = 14km
