Answer: It needs 2.4 hours to complete the trip.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Length of Oregon trail = 2.197 miles
Speed at which it travel = 20 miles per day
we need to find the time taken by it ,
As we know that
[tex]Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}[/tex]
[tex]Time=\frac{2.197}{20}\\\\Time=0.10\text{ days}[/tex]
So,
it will be changed into hours
[tex]1\text{ day}=24\text{ hours}\\\\0.1\text{ day}=24\times 0.1=2.4\text{ hours}[/tex]
so, it needs 2.4 hours to complete the trip.
