You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Lets fist convert the length of the trail to meters.
In 8.7km, the k stands for 1000.
8.7%2A1000+=+8700
The length of the trail in 8700m.
We know that you can hike 1800m in one hour.
Divide the length of the trail by that given speed.
8700+%2F+1800+=+4.833
It will take 5 hours to complete the hike.
