Respuesta :

Answer:

1.5 miles lenox lead the way.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : After just 4 tenths of a 2.5 mile race was completed. Lenox took the lead and remained there until the end of the race.

To find : How many miles did Lenox lead the race ?

Solution :

After just 4 tenths of a 2.5 mile race was completed.

Race was completed till lenox lead is given by,

[tex]d= \frac{4}{10}\ of\ 2.5\\\\d=\frac{4}{10} \times 2.5\\\\d=0.4\times 2.5\\\\d=1\ mile[/tex]

Mile before lenox took the lead in the race = 1 mile

Until the end of the race lenox took the lead.

So, to get the miles lenox lead the way we subtract mile before lenox took the lead in the race from total miles of the race

i.e. [tex]2.5-1=1.5\ miles[/tex]

Therefore, 1.5 miles lenox lead the way.
