8:32? Maybe? I'm just giving a guess. You should maybe add more information.
<span>Total mass of mixture is given as 5/6 pound, in which 1/4 pound is gravel. Amount of sand in the mixture will be 5/6 - 1/4 = 7/12
So, the ratio of sand to that of gravel in given mixture is 7/12:1/4 = 7:3. i.e every 10
parts of mixture contain 7 parts of sand and 3 parts of gravel.
If we are given 1-pound of same mixture, it will contain 1 * 3/10 pound gravel, i.e. 0.3 pound.</span>
(0,-5) and (3,-4) Hope this helps
We have

1/5 yard ------------------
7/10 yard
<span>The distance poles B and D= (1-1/5)=4/5 yard
</span>The distance poles B and E= BD+DE=4/5+7/10=(8+7)/10=15/10=3/2 yard
the answer is 3/2 yard (distance poles B and E)
