Another path in the community is 2.1 miles long. It has benches at 1/3 And 2/3 of the distance from beginning to end of the path. How far in miles (5280=one mile ) is each bench from the beginning of the path?

Respuesta :

Answer:

bench at 1/3 is at 0.7 miles

bench at 2/3 is at 1.4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Path length, x= 2.1 miles

It has benches at 1/3 And 2/3 of the distance from beginning to end of the path

1/3 of the distance from beginning to end of the path= 1/3x

Putting value of x in above we get:

                  =1/3(2.1)

                  =2.1/3

                  =0.7

The bench at 1/3 of the distance is at 0.7 miles from the beginning to end of path

2/3 of the distance from beginning to end of the path= 2/3x

Putting value of x in above we get:

                  =2(2.1)/3

                  =4.2/3

                  =1.4

The bench at 2/3 of the distance is at 1.4 miles from the beginning to end of path!
