Answer 1

Answer:

7.5 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

• Given,Andre is running in an 80-meter hurdle race. There are 8 equally-spaced hurdles on the race track. The first hurdle is 12 meters from the start line and the last hurdle is 15.5 meters from the finish line.

Thus, the distance from the first hurdle to eighth hurdles is 80-(12+15.5) = 52.5m

Now, we have 8 Hurdle but the distance between each hurdle is equally divided in 7 parts . (Please find the diagram in Attachment)

So, 52.5 /7 ⇔ 7.5m far the hurdles are from one another.
