Answer:
5280 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
So, you are one third of the way to the mid point.
One-third can be represented as a fraction - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex].
The mid point will be half the race, so [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].
If you are a third of the way to the halfway point, you are [tex]\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{6}[/tex] done with the race.
If 880 miles is [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of the race, then the total amount of the race will be 6 times 880 (as [tex]\frac{1}{6} \cdot \frac{6}{1} = 1[/tex]).
[tex]880\cdot 6 = 5280[/tex]
So the race in total is 5280 miles long.
Hope this helped!
