Marsha and tamara are running a race. marcia has run 4 kilometers. tamara has completed 3/4 of the race and is 2.5 kilometers ahead of marcia. write and solve an equation to determine where tamara is in the race. let k represent the total length of the race in kilometers.

T = 2.5 + M is the equation to determine where Tamara is in the race , where T denotes distance covered by Tamara and M denotes covered by Marcia.

Total length of race is 8.67 kilometers and Tamara is at 6.5 kilometers in  the race.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Marsha and Tamara are running a race. Marcia has run 4 kilometers. Tamara has completed of the race and is 2.5 kilometers ahead of Marcia.

We have to find where Tamara is in the race.

Let k represent the total length of the race in kilometers.

Marcia has run 4 kilometers.

ans Tamara is 2.5 kilometers ahead of Marcia.

Let T denotes distance covered by Tamara and M denotes covered by Marcia.

Mathematically written as,

T = 2.5 + M = 2.5 + 4 = 6.5 Kilometers.

Also , given,

Tamara has completed of the race.

that is

Solve for k , we get,

kilometers.

Thus, total length of race is 8.67 kilometers and Tamara is at 6.5 kilometers in  the race.

a: 1/6, j: 1/4

step-by-step explanation: you are welcome

the answer is 1 becuz if it were 1.0 that would rip apart the entire so ya. : )
