Question

There are roads at the two ends of the bike path, but the remainder of the paved bike path goes through the woods. What proportion of accidents happen more than 1 mile from either road? (Hint: First determine where on the bike path the accident needs to occur to be more than 1 mile from either road, and then find the area. Enter your answer to one decimal place.)

To solve the problem above on the proportion accident happen more than 1 mile from either of the road please check on the solution below:

area between 1 and 4 = (4 − 1) × 1/5 = 3/5 = 0.6

Hope it helps!
