When flying from Florida to the Philippines island why does the shortest route pass through Alaska?

1 answer:

Because the earth is round, the distance seen on a flat map is a lot further than the distance on a globe, because of distortion. So following the circle that goes through these 3 points ( Florida, Alaska and the Philippines) it is a shorter distance to fly over Alaska.

In a particular triathlon the athletes cover 1/24 of the total distance by

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "d" be the total distance, that is, the distance for swimming (s), running (r) and going by bike (b).

d = s + r + b [1]

1/24 of the total distance is covered by swimming.

s = 1/24 d [2]

1/3 of the distance is covered by running.

r = 1/3 d [3]

If we replace [2] and [3] in [1], we get

d = 1/24 d + 1/3 d + b

b = d - 1/24 d - 1/3 d

b = 24/24 d - 1/24 d - 8/24 d

b = 15/24 d = 5/8 d

The ratio of the distance covered by bike to the distance covered by running is:

b/r = (5/8 d)/(1/3 d) = 15/8
