Question

the map shows the route for a race. you are at a, which is 6000 feet from the first checkpoint b. the second checkpoint c is located at the midpoint between b and the end of the race d. the total race is 3 miles. how far apart are the 2 checkpoints? (hint: there are 5280 feet in a mile.) 5280 feet 6000 feet 4920 feet 9840 feet i will draw the picture!

Answer 1

The two checkpoints are 4,920 ft. apart from each other. The total distance of the race is 15,840 ft. If checkpoint C half the distance between checkpoint B and the end of the race, the distance between Checkpoint B and the end of the race is 9,840 ft. Half of that distance is 4,920 ft.
