Let \"+d+\" = the number of miles of the planned trip
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+-+%281%2F2%29%2Ad+=+%281%2F2%29%2Ad+\" is the distance left after
\n" ); document.write( "the 1st day
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%281%2F3%29%2A%281%2F2%29%2Ad+=+%281%2F6%29%2Ad+\" was hiked on the 2nd day,
\n" ); document.write( "so, \"+%283%2F6%29%2Ad+-+%281%2F6%29%2Ad+=+%281%2F3%29%2Ad+\" is left to hike
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%281%2F4%29%2A%281%2F3%29%2Ad+=+%281%2F12%29%2Ad+\" was hiked on the 3rd day
\n" ); document.write( "so, \"+%284%2F12%29%2Ad+-+%281%2F12%29%2Ad+=+%281%2F4%29%2Ad+\" is left to hike
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "On the 4th day:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3+=+%281%2F5%29%2A%281%2F4%29%2Ad+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3+=+%281%2F20%29%2Ad+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+=+60+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "After the 4th day, She had hiked \"+d+-+%281%2F4%29%2Ad+=+%283%2F4%29%2Ad+\"
\n" ); document.write( "plus \"+3+\" = \"+%283%2F4%29%2Ad+%2B+3+\" miles
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%283%2F4%29%2A60+%2B+3+=+48+\"
\n" ); document.write( "==============================
\n" ); document.write( "She hiked 48 miles during the 4 days
\n" ); document.write( "==============================
\n" ); document.write( "check the answer:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+=+60+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The 1st day, she hiked 30 mi with 30 mi left
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The 2nd day, she hiked \"+%281%2F3%29%2A30+=+10+\" mi
\n" ); document.write( "with \"+30+-+10+=+20+\" mi left
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The 3rd day, she hiked \"+%281%2F4%29%2A20+=+5+\" mi
\n" ); document.write( "with \"+20+-+5+=+15+\" mi left
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "On the 4th day, she hiked 3 mi, so there is
\n" ); document.write( "\"+15+-+3+=+12+\" mi left
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The 3 mi on the 4th day was 1/4 of of the
\n" ); document.write( "12 mi that is left
\n" ); document.write( "OK
