Answer:
1/2 is equivalent to 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to convert a fraction to a percentage you divide the numerator (Top number of a fraction) by the denominator (Bottom number of a fraction), multiply by 100, and add a percentage sign.
So lets try that with our first answer option A) 1/2:
1 divided by 2 = 0.5
0.5 x 100 = 50
50%
So we know that 1/2 is equivalent to 50%
From your equation, you can see that you have a difference of two cubes (aka two cubes being subtracted): 64, which is

, and

.
There is rule for the difference of two cubes:
The difference of two cubes is equal to the difference of the cube roots times a binomial, which is the sum of the squares of the roots plus the product of the roots.
That sounds pretty confusing, but it's much easier to understand when put mathematically. Let's say our two cubes are

and

. The difference of those two cubes is:

In our problem, a = 4 (since

= 64) and b = y (since

. Plug these values into the rule to find the factor of

Answer:
The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is 4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question in the attached figure
we know that
When you get to the second checkpoint, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish
so
The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is equal to the total distance multiplied by 1/4
The total distance is 40 miles ( see the attached figure)
so
The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is

<em>Find out the distance from the start to the first checkpoint</em>
Multiply the distance from the star to the second checkpoint by 2/5
