Answer:

Given MC = 4

AN = 14

To Find, the length of NB

Step-by-step explanation:

AB is a line which has midpoint “C”. Now the line is divided into two equal portion AC and CB.

The AC has midpoint “M” and MC is 4, so AM will also be 4.

N is the midpoint of CB. So, CB = CN + NB

Now we know AC = AM + MC = 4 + 4 =8

Given, AN = 14

AN = AC + CN

14 = 8 + CN

CN = 6

Since N is the midpoint of CB then, CN = NB

Therefore, the NB is 6

Sonja [21]

Answer:

24 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate Judy's estimation, we would simply have to multiply the actual distance in kilometers of the tour by the number of miles that Judy believes are in a single mile. This would give us Judy's estimation for how long the tour would be in miles.

40 km. * 0.6 miles = 24 miles

Finally, we can see that Judy's estimation would be that the tour is 24 miles long. Using Judy's believed conversion rate.
