<h3>Answer: 62</h3>

Explanation:

K is the midpoint of segment JL

That means the smaller pieces JK and KL are the same length.

JK = KL

9x-5 = 7x+3

9x-7x = 3+5

2x = 8

x = 8/2

x = 4

This x value leads us to:

JK = 9x-5 = 9*4-5 = 36-5 = 31
KL = 7x+3 = 7*4+3 = 28+3 = 31

Both smaller pieces are 31 units each, which helps confirm we have the correct x value.

Therefore, JL = JK+KL = 31+31 = 62

If you run a marathon of 26 1/5 miles in a time of 5 4/5 how far do you run in 1 hour<br><br>pls

First let's make both the miles and the hours ran improper fractions:

$26+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{131}{5}\\ 5+\frac{4}{5}=\frac{29}{5}$

So, to find our miles per hour, we have to divide the miles by the hours to get: $\frac{\frac{131}{5}\text{miles}}{\frac{29}{5}\text{hours}}=\frac{131\text{miles}}{29\text{hours}} \\ \text{ Now we have to divide the top and the bottom by 29 to get our miles per hour so: }\\ \frac{\frac{131}{29}}{\text{hour}} \approx \frac{4.52 \text{miles}}{\text{hour}}$
