Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- The passage states, "Alex learned a good deal about nature during that three mile downhill hike to school and the three mile uphill return trip."
- This means the distance to school was 3 miles and the distance back home from school was also 3 miles.
- To find the total distance trekked everyday, we add the distance to school and the distance from school: 3 miles + 3 miles = 6 miles.
- Option 1) three: This is the distance for a one-way trip (either to or from school), not the total daily trek.
- Option 3) twelve: This distance is not supported by the information given in the passage.
- Option 4) unknown: The passage provides the exact distances for both legs of the journey, making the total daily distance known.
