Mike hiked to a lake in 4.5 hours at an average rate of 2 1
5
miles per hour. Pedro hiked the same distance at a rate of 2
3
5
miles per hour. How long did it take Pedro to reach the lake? Round to the hundredths place.

It took Pedro
hours to reach the lake.

It took Pedro  3.81 hours to reach the lake.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by Mike to hike a lake = 4.5 hours

Average rate of Mike while hiking the lake =

Formula for distance can be seen as:

Distance traveled by Mike =

Rate of Pedro while hiking the same distance =

Given that, Pedro also travels the same distance.

And we have to find the Time.

It took Pedro  3.81 hours to reach the lake.

y= 2x+7

changed to y= 5x +7

as slope is increased from 2 to 5

therefore it would be less steeper

so, option d) is correct
