lol I have the same question as you for a test XD

Answer 2

Equation to measure the distance covered by each 4m = 14

Explanation:

Let the positions of four friends are A, B, C and D.

Brandi is at A, Jake is at B, Marissa at C, Kelly at D and Brandi's friend is at E.

Distance between Brandi and her friend = 14 miles.

Let each of them travel 'm' miles then total distance covered by all

= 4 × m

and the equation will be 4m = 14

m =
`(14)/(4)=(7)/(2)` miles

m =
`3(1)/(2)` miles

Therefore, distance covered by each will be =
`3(1)/(2)` miles
