Question

Sonji and her friend rachel are competing in a race. When sonji is 0.4 miles from the finish line she notices that her friend rachel has fallen if sonji runs one tenth of a mile back to help her friend how far will she be from the finish line

Answer 1

Sonji is 0.5 miles far from the finish line

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Distance between the Sonji and the finish line = 0.4 miles

Distance run by Sonji back = one tenth of a mile

i.e =
`(1)/(10)` miles = 0.1 miles

Hence,

The total distance of Sonji from the finish line will be

= Distance between the Sonji and the finish line + Distance run by Sonji back

= 0.4 miles + 0.1 miles

= 0.5 miles

Hence,

Sonji is 0.5 miles far from the finish line
