It would be 26 repeating itself
The question demands that we find a fraction of a given quantity.
The 'of ' means multiplication.
So the total distance of the journey was

But they walked ¼ of the whole journey. We are supposed to find




Hence they walked 3.25 miles.
Seeing from the graph I've provided above, the correct answer would be D, the last one.
4m + 7 = -3m + 49
4m + 3m = 49 - 7
7m = 42
m = 42/7
m = 6
So, your final answer is 6
Hope this helps!
Discriminant of a Quadratic
The number D = b2 – 4ac determined from the coefficients of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0. The discriminant reveals what type of roots the equation has.
Note: b2 – 4ac comes from the quadratic formula.
