Another path in the community is 2.4 miles long. it has benches at 1/3 and 2/3 of the distance from beginning to end of the path. how far in miles (5280=one mile ) is each bench from the beginning of the path?

0.8 and 1.6 miles respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The two benches divide the length of the path into thirds.  The length of each third is 2.4 miles / 3, or 0.8 mile.

The first bench is at 0.8 mile from the beginning, and the second is at 2(0.8 mile), or 1.6 mile from the beginning.

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
