Question

The distance from C to D is 24 miles. The distance from B to C is 2/3 of the distance from C to D. The distance from A to B is 3/8 of the distance from B to C. What is the distance from A to B?

Answer 1

AB is 6 miles

Explanation:

Here, we want to get AB

From the question;

CD = 24

BC = 2/3 * 24 = 16

AB = 3/8 * BC

AB = 3/8 * 16

AB = 6 miles
