Question

Can someone help me figure out what are the two checkpoints?

Answer 1

Answer:

13,000 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

X -------10960----------C---------------D---------------Y

The entire race (from X to Y) is 7 miles.  There are 5,280 ft. in one mile, so 7 miles is 36960 ft.

If we subtract 10,960 from 36,960, then we get the distance from C to Y.

36960-10960 = 26000

They tell you D is at the midpoint between C and Y

So if we divide 26,000 by 2, then we know the distance from C to D and from D to Y.

26000/2 = 13000

The checkpoints are C and D, so the distance between them is 13,000 ft.

Answer 2

The third option is correct: 13,000 feet

Have a nice day :)
