Answer: The number is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

5-x = 1+3x

or, 5 = 1+3x+x

or, 5 = 1+4x

or, 5-1 = 4x

or, 4x = 4

or, x = 4/4

so, x = 1

Suppose M is the midpoint of FG. Find the missing measure.

Arlecino [84]

A midpoint divides a line segment into equal halves.

The value of x is 3.4

Given that:

$FG = 11x - 15.6$

$MG = 10.9$

Since M is the midpoint, then:

$FG = 2 \times MG$

So, we have:

$11x - 15.6 =2 \times 10.9$

$11x - 15.6 =21.8$

Collect like terms

$11x =15.6 +21.8$

$11x =37.4$

Solve for x

$x =3.4$

<em>Hence, the value of x is 3.4</em>

You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 25 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get

Rom4ik [11]

Question:

You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 2/5 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get to the second check point, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish. If the entire race is 40 miles, what is the distance between the start and the first check point?

Answer: 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let distance between start to first checkpoint = x

First checkpoint to second checkpoint = 2/5 of x

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 of start to checkpoint 2)

Distance of start to checkpoint 2 = (1/4 of start to finish)

If start to checkpoint 2 = 1/4 of start to finish

Then,

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 * 1/4 of start to finish)

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = 2/20 of start to finish = 1/10 of start to finish

Entire race = 40 miles = distance from start to finish
