Answer:

C. 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between police station and the fire station be x.

According to question we have:

the distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station,
the distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles.

It can be expressed as:

5 = 2x - 3

Solve the equation for x:

2x = 5 + 3
2x = 8
x = 4

Correct choice is C

Answer: labor force participation rate =60%

unemployment rate = 6.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

The labor force participation rate is computed as

$\text{labor force participation rate}=\dfrac{\text{Total employed persons}}{\text{Total population}}$

i.e. $\text{labor force participation rate}= \dfrac{72000}{120000}$

$= 0.6\ or\ 60 \%$

The unemployment rate is computed as:

$\text{unemployment rate}=\dfrac{\text{Number of personsdon't have jobs }}{\text{Total population}}\\\\\text{unemployment rate}=\dfrac{8000}{120000}\\\\\text{unemployment rate}=0.0667\ or\ 6.67\%$

Hence, labor force participation rate =60%

unemployment rate = 6.67%
