Answer

$37.6\text{ miles}$ $60.49\text{ km}$

Work Step by Step

Daily distances in miles: Each day involves 8 hours of hiking: - Day $1$: $8\times 1.6=12.8\text{ miles}$ - Day $2$: $8\times 1.4=11.2\text{ miles}$ - Day $3$: $8\times 1.7=13.6\text{ miles}$ The total distance: $12.8+11.2+13.6=37.6\text{ miles}$ Convert miles to kilometers: Use the conversion: $1\text{ mile}=1.60934\text{ km}$ $37.6\times 1.60934\approx 60.49\text{ km}$
