Question:
You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 2/5 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get to the second check point, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish. If the entire race is 40 miles, what is the distance between the start and the first check point?
Answer: 4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let distance between start to first checkpoint = x
First checkpoint to second checkpoint = 2/5 of x
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 of start to checkpoint 2)
Distance of start to checkpoint 2 = (1/4 of start to finish)
If start to checkpoint 2 = 1/4 of start to finish
Then,
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 * 1/4 of start to finish)
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = 2/20 of start to finish = 1/10 of start to finish
Entire race = 40 miles = distance from start to finish
1/ 10 of 40
= ( 1/10) × 40
= 4 miles

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Given</h3>
- Sofa = s
- Love seat = l
- Chair = c
- Sofa and love seat cost = $1300
- Sofa and 2 chairs cost = $1400
- Sofa, love seat and one chair cost = $1600
<h3>To find</h3>
<h3>Solution</h3>
<u>Equations as per given are:</u>
- s + l = 1300
- s + 2c = 1400
- s + l + c = 1600
<u>Subtract equation 1 from equation 3:</u>
- s + l + c - s - l = 1600 - 1300
- c = 300
<u>Considering this in the equation 2:</u>
- s + 2*300 = 1400
- s = 1400 - 600
- s = 800
<u>Substituting s in the equation 1:</u>
- 800 + l = 1300
- l = 1300 - 800
- l = 500
<u>Answer:</u> Love seat costs $500
10 is your answer because it is a terminating or repeating decimals
Given that Jessica attends summer camp at a distance of four hundred twenty-three and four tenth mile = 
And a detour adds 10 miles to the distance.
That means we need to add 10 miles to the given distance.
So new distance = 423.4 + 10 = 433.4 miles
Hence Jessica needs to travel 433.4 miles for summer camp.
