If a line segment is bisected to form two new 63.4-centimeter line segments, what was the measure of the original line segment?
The measure of the original line segment was 126.8 centimeters. This is because when a line segment is bisected, it is divided into two equal parts. If each new segment is 63.4 centimeters long, then the original segment must have been twice that length, which is 126.8 centimeters.
2 mi 1,485 ft − 1 mi 3,423 ft =
mi
ft
We first need to subtract the feet:
1,485 ft - 3,423 ft = -1,938 ft
Since the result is negative, we need to "borrow" 1 mile, or 5,280 ft, from the 2 miles:
2 mi - 1 mi = 1 mi
5,280 ft + (-1,938 ft) = 3,342 ft
Therefore, the final answer is:
1 mi 3,342 ft
