cathy is hiking in the mountains. She hikes 5.9 km the first day and 4.9 km the second day.
What is the average distance she hiked each day
A.5.4 km
B.6.2 km
C.1.0 km
D.10,8 km
To find the average distance, we need to add the distances and then divide by the number of days.
Total distance = 5.9 km + 4.9 km = 10.8 km
Number of days = 2
Average distance = Total distance / Number of days = 10.8 km / 2 = 5.4 km
Therefore, the average distance Cathy hiked each day is 5.4 km.
The correct answer is A. 5.4 km.
