Students are running in a relay race. Each team will run a total of 3 miles. Each member of a team will run 1/8 of a mile. How many students will a team need to complete the race?

24

Step-by-step explanation:

3 / (1/8) = 3 × (8/1) = 24

There needs to be 24 students on a team.

  24

Step-by-step explanation:

If each student runs 1/8 mile, 8 students are needed for each mile. For 3 miles, 3 times that many are needed.

A team will need 24 students to complete the race.

its 8

step-by-step explanation:

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
