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 explain how you got your answer.

  the benches are 0.8 and 1.6 miles from the ends of the path

Step-by-step explanation:

The first bench is 1/3 of the path's length from the beginning of the path:

  (1/3)×(2.4 mi) = (2.4/3) mi = 0.8 mi

The second bench is 2/3 of the path's length from the beginning of the path:

  (2/3)×(2.4 mi) = (2.4×2/3) mi = 4.8/3 mi = 1.6 mi

The benches are 0.8 mi and 1.6 mi from the beginning of the path.

Of course, 0.8 mi from the beginning is 2.4-0.8 = 1.6 mi from the end, and vice-versa.
