First set up an equation as your approach. I will use the equation x+4x=24 because that way you are saying that something pluse itself times 4 equals 24 which is what you want.
simplify the equation
5x=24
x=24/5
So you know onw piece will be 24/5 of a foot and the ither qould be that times 4 so 96/24 of a foot. In decimals it would be 4.8 and 19.2
Answer:
14080 yds
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 1 mile = 1760 yards

Answer:
(1/4, 5 7/8)
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex is the extreme point of the graph. Here, it is a minimum.
For this quadratic function, a graphing calculator can tell you exactly what the vertex is. (No approximation is required.)

The graphing calculator in the attachment shows the vertex is ...
(0.25, 5.875) = (1/4, 5 7/8)
