I’m not sure if I’m right but I tried.First I multiplied 11 times 24,because there's 24 hours in a day,then I got 264. So then I added 21 hours more to it, so then I got 285.So then I divided 285 out of 19,since there is 19 riders, and I got 15. So 15 might be the answer to the problem. (But I’m still not sure, atleast I tried right?)   

Answer:

The number of hours each riders ride = 15 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

19 riders = 11 days 21 hours to ride from St.Joseph to Sacramento

Let's find the number of hours taken.

1 day = 24 hours.

11 days = 11 times 24 = 264 hours

So, 11 days 21 hours = 264 + 21 = 285 hours

19 riders rode the same number of hours.

To find the each rider ride, we need to divide 285 by 19.

The number of hours each rider ride = [tex]\frac{285}{19} = 15[/tex] hours.
