The trail is 0.88 miles Based on your own walking rate, how many minutes would it take for you to walk this  trail? Justify your decision

To determine how long it would take to walk a 0.88-mile trail, I'll base the calculation on a common average walking speed, which is approximately 3 miles per hour.

### Steps to Calculate Time:
1. **Convert the walking speed to miles per minute:**
   \[
   3 \text{ miles per hour} \times \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{60 \text{ minutes}} = 0.05 \text{ miles per minute}
   \]

2. **Calculate the time required to walk 0.88 miles:**
   \[
   \text{Time} = \frac{0.88 \text{ miles}}{0.05 \text{ miles per minute}} = 17.6 \text{ minutes}
   \]

### Conclusion:
It would take approximately 17.6 minutes to walk the 0.88-mile trail at an average walking speed of 3 miles per hour.

If your personal walking speed differs from the average, you can adjust the calculation by replacing the 3 miles per hour with your specific walking speed.
