At a track meet, the 3 members of a relay race ran a total distance of 3/8 of a mile. if each runner ran the same distance. how far did each person run?

.125 of a mile

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total distance was 3/8 of a mile and there were 3 runners, then each runner ran .

Change the 3/8 to a decimal

3/8 = 0.375 of a mile

Since there were 3 runners divide the total distance by 3

0.375/3 = 0.125

Each runner ran 1/8 of a mile or 0.125 of a mile.

i graphed to on desmos.

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
