Respuesta :

The race is 111.6 m long.

8 hurdles spaced 12.3 m apart means 7 spaces that are 12.3 m in length; 7*12.3 = 86.1

Add to this the distance to the first hurdle and the distance from the last hurdle:
86.1+15+10.5 = 111.6 m

Answer:

Answer: 111.6 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 8 hurdles that are spaced 12.3 meters apart, the number of meters here will be:

= 7 × 12.3 meters

= 86.1 meters

We are further told that there are 15 meters from the starting line to the first hurdle and 10.5 meters from the last hurdle to the finish line.

The length of the race will be:

= 86.1 + 15 + 10.5

= 111.6 meters

Hope this helps
