Question

Ian wants to run 412 miles to get ready for his upcoming race. He has set up 3 markers the same distance apart to show how far he has run. How far apart are the markers? Drag and drop the correct answer to complete the statement. Each marker will be exactly miles apart.

Answer 1

103 miles

Explanation:

begin - 1st mark - 2nd mark - 3rd mark - end

each mark is 1/4 of total distance as they are equally apart

distance apart = total distance / 4 = 412/4

= 103 miles

Answer 2

Each marker will be exactly 103 miles apart.

Explanation:

It is given that Ian wants to run 412 miles and has set up 3 markers the same distance apart.

Between the start and end of run, the 3 separate markers will divide the 412-mile distance into 4 equal segments.

So each segment = 412/4 = 103 miles

Each marker will be exactly 103 miles apart.
