Given/Find • Given: 16 day rafting trip, trip was on the Grand Canyon, Summertime. • Find: Estimate how many miles long the Grand Canyon is.
Methods/Approach • First discussed reasonable times spent rafting • Figured total hours spent and avg. speed.
Assumptions • The raft travels 10mph on average • Seven hours a day spent on river • Two days of no rafting
Solution • 14 days x 7 hours spent rafting per day = 98 hours • 98 hours spent rafting x 10 mph = 980 miles
