15/26 * 4/9 = 60/234 = 10/39
The answer is 70 miles.
If we express distances as following:
T - total distance
a - distance from <span>San Antonio to Austin
b - </span>distance from <span>Austin to Waco
c - </span>distance from <span>Waco to Dallas
Then:
T = 280 mi
b = a - 30 mi </span>⇒ a = b + 30<span>
b = c + 20 mi </span>⇒ c = b - 20<span>
T = a + b + c
</span>⇒ a + b + c = 280
⇒ b + 30 + b + b - 20 = 280
⇒ 3b +10 = 280
⇒ 3b = 280 - 10
⇒ 3b = 270
⇒ b = 90 mi.
Distance from <span>Waco to Dallas is c.
</span><span>c = b - 20
</span>⇒ c = 90 - 20
⇒ c = 70 mi
Therefore, distance from <span>Waco to Dallas is 70 miles.</span>
