Alyssa takes part in the triathlon. She cycles 4/5 of the route, runs 1/8 of the route, and swims the rest of the way. She swims 0.9 miles. Find the total distance of the triathlon route.

Total distance Alyssa cycled and ran =

$\frac{4}{5} + \frac{1}{8}$

$\frac{32 + 5}{40}$ = $\frac{37}{40}$

Distance she swam = 1 - 37/40 = 3/40

3/40 of the distance is 0.9

the total distance = 40/3 x 0.9 = 12 miles

Help please! Find x x= 7 7/2 /(14)

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

recognize that this is a right triangle with one of the internal angles = 45°. This means that the other angle not shown is 180 - 90 - 45 = 45°

This makes the triangle an isosceles triangle.

If so, x must be the same length as the other side adjacent to 90°

i.e x = 7
