Miguel and his brother ario are both standing 3 meters from one side of a 25-meter pool when they decide to race. miguel offers ario a head start. miguel says he will start when the ratio of ario's completed meters to ario's remaining meters is 1: 4. how many meters will ario swim before miguel starts the race? round to the nearest tenth. meters

Miguel start to swim when Ario has traveled 4.4 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total lenght of the pool is 25.

Since both of them standing 3 m from one side of the pool, then, the total distance both need to cover is m= 22 m.

Assume that the distance traveled by Ario before Miguel start to swin is . That means, the remaining distance to Ario (to cover the total size of the pool) is .

Then, in acoordance to the problem, the ratio between these two distances must be equal to 1/4.

That is,

.

So, we need to obtain from this equation. We must note that , otherwise we have a zero in the denominator.

So, we rearrange the equation,

(Multiplying both sides of equation by ().

Then, .

Therefore, m.

answer: -1

the answer is c. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
