Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

$\frac{8}{x+1} = \frac{-16}{x+4}$

=============================================================

Cross multiplying the terms :

⇒ 8 (x + 4) = -16 (x + 1)

⇒ 8x + 32 = -16x - 16

⇒ 24x = -48

⇒ x = -2

An athlete runs around a circular track. The track has a diameter of 200 feet. How many laps does she need to take to run a mile

Shtirlitz [24]

First you have to figure out the length of the track:

$2 * \pi * r$

r is the half of the diameter:
200ft : 2 = 100ft

$2* \pi *100ft$ = 200 $\pi$ ≈ 628,31

The athlete has to run ca. 5280ft for one mile:

5280 : 628,31≈8,4

The athlete has to run 8,4 laps
