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.

4.4 meters
7.4 meters
17.6 meters
20.6 meters

Since both of them are 3 meters from one side of the 25 meter pool, the distance that they have to cover is actually only 22 meters only. To answer this item, we let x be the distance covered by Ario and 22-x be his remaining distance. Such that,

                                x/(22-x) = 1/4

The value of x from the equation is 4.4.

Therefore, the distance that Ario had covered is 4.4 m.
