On a subway route, station C is located at the midpoint between stations A and D. Station B is located at the midpoint between stations A and C. If the distance between stations A and D is 2.4 kilometers, what is the distance between stations B and D?

The distance between C and A/D is 1,2 km. The distance between B and A/C is 0,6. It's in this order: A 0,6 km B 0,6 km C 1,2km D so the distance between B and D is 0,6 + 1,2 = 1,8 km

Answer:1.8 Km

Explanation:

Given

C is mid station between A & D

So Distance between A and C is equal to distance between D and C

And distance between A & D is 2.4 km

Thus AC=1.2 Km

Also B is the mid-station of A & C

Thus AB =BC

therefore AB=BC=0.6 Km

so distance between B & D is 1.2+0.6 =1.8 Km

B is
(3)/(4)distance of AD
