Answer: [tex]3\dfrac{7}{24}\text{ miles}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The Cooper family decided to hike to Hillside Lake.
The approximate distance to travel for Hillside Lake = [tex]8\dfrac{5}{8}\text{ miles}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{69}{8}\text{ miles}[[/tex]
Since , After an hour the lake was still [tex]5\dfrac{1}{3}\text{ miles}[/tex] away.
[tex]5\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{16}{3}\text{ miles}[/tex]
Now, the distance hiked by group :
[tex]\dfrac{69}{8}-\dfrac{16}{3}\\\\\\=\dfrac{201-128}{24}\\\\\\=\dfrac{79}{24}\\\\\\=3\dfrac{7}{24}\text{ miles}[/tex]
