Question

The expression m divided by 4 is teh distance each person runs in a relay race that is m miles. How far does each person run in a relay race that is 12 miles

Answer 1

Each person runs 3 miles in a relay race.

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of Relay race m = 12 miles.

The expression m divided by 4 is the distance each person runs in a relay race that is m miles.

Each person runs in relay race =
`(m)/(4)`

Now given the total distance of the relay race is 12 miles.

i.e. value of m = 12 miles

Now substituting the value of m in above equation we get;

Each person runs in relay race =
`(m)/(4) = (12)/(4)=3 \ miles`

Hence each person runs 3 miles in a relay race.
