Question

Ty set a goal to walk at least 24 kilometers every day to prepare for a multiday hike. On a certain day, Ty plans to walk at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour. What is the minimum number of hours Ty must walk on that day to fulfill the daily goal?

Accepted Answer

Choice B is correct. It's given that Ty plans to walk at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour. The number of kilometers Ty will walk is determined by the expression 4 s , where s is the number of hours Ty walks. The given goal of at least 24 kilometers means that the inequality 4 s e 24 represents the situation. Dividing both sides of this inequality by 4 gives s e 6 , which corresponds to a minimum of 6 hours Ty must walk. Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
