4. L. B. Johnson Middle School held a track and field event during the school year. Miguel took part in a four-person shot put team. Shot put is a track and field event where
athletes throw (or “put") a heavy sphere, called a “shot,” as far as possible.
To determine a team score, the distances of all team members are added. The team
with the greatest score wins first place.
The current winning team's final score at the shot put is 55.08 ft. Miguel's teammates
threw the shot put the following distances: 12.26 ft., 12.82 ft., and 13.75 ft.
Exactly how many feet will Miguel need to throw the shot put in order to tie the current
first-place score? Show your work and state your final answer to the question in a
