A runner is in a 13.7 mile race. If the runner stopped at a water station that is three times as far from the starting line as from the finish​ line, how far is the runner from the finish​ line?

Answer 1

the runner stopped at 3/4 of the race

3/4 x 13.7 = 42.1/4 = 10.525 miles from the starting line

13.7-10.525 = 3.175 miles from the finish line
