Ateam of runners ran a relay race. each runner ran 7 1/2 kilometers. the total length of the race was 45 kilometers. write and solve an equation to find how many runners were on the team. *

6 runners

Step-by-step explanation:

Each runner ran 7.5 km.  If there were n runners, then (7.5 km)n = 45 km.

Solve this for n by dividing 7.5 km into 45 km:

n = 6

There were 6 runners.

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
