Best Answer

Let x = the distance from a to b. Therefore, the distance from b to c = 2x+6 The distance from a to c = 4x + 2 Logically, a to c = a to b + b to c so 4x+2 = x+ 2x+6. Now solve for x and you can find all the distances. Sometimes it really helps to draw a picture and write a statement. Example, let x = the distance from a to b. Good luck.

How many miles is between third avenue and fifth avenue?

There are many cities and towns in the world with a "3rd avenue" and a "5th avenue", and they are not all exactly the same distance apart. So in order for anyone to answer your question you would need to include the name of the city or town and the state and/or country.


What speed would you have to travel in order to cover 125 miles in 6.25 hours?

Dividing the distance in miles, 125, by the time in hours, 6.25, gives us 125 / 6.25 = 20 miles per hour.


What is the distance between the Antarctica and San Francisco California?

Your answer depends on where you want to go on the Antarctic continent. There is no commercial air service to anywhere on the continent, so you need to go from SFO to a commercial airport in order to put together an expedition to take you to your Antarctic destination. You can fly to New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Argentina, even South Africa, and then to Antarctica from there.


What is a trend of a line on a cartesian coordinate plane?

The slope of a straight line is often described by the rise over the run. This is the ratio of the vertical distance between two points and the horizontal distance between them (taken in the same order).

0.45 miles is equal to how much time?

There's not quite enough information to answer this question. Miles is distance, and time is time. You would need something such as speed, which is distance/time, in order to determine the amount of time required to cover a certain distance.For example, if you're traveling at 60 miles/hour, then to cover .45 miles:.45 miles x 1 hr/60 miles = 0.0075 hours, or 27 seconds


How far can you travel at 45 mph?

Speed = distance/timeYou have been given the speed and time. You need to find distance. In order to determine the distance, you must rearrange the equation for speed by multiplying both sides of the equation by time, isolating distance. Then plug in your known values and solve for distance.Speed x time = distance47mph x 1/2h = 23.5 mi

What is the distance from Castlegar to Kelowna?

It's in the order of 300 miles (480 km), but depends on whether you start at Banff (the town) or Banff national park. And I'm assuming the shortest distance (Hwy 1 to 97A)
