Sara travels twice as far as eli when going to camp. ashley travels as far as sara and eli together. hazel travels 3 times as far as sara. in total , all four travel a total of 888 miles to camp. how far do each of them travel?

Let's represent how far Eli travels as x.
Sara travels twice as far as that, so 2x.
Ashley travels as far as Eli and Sara combined. x + 2x = 3x.
Hazel travels 3× as far as Sara, and 3×2x = 6x.

All of these add up to 888.
x + 2x + 3x + 6x = 888
Let's add up these like terms.
12x = 888
We can then divide each side by 12...
x = 74

Therefore, Eli traveled 74 miles!
We can use this value to figure out everyone else's distances as well.
Sara = 2 × 74 = 148
Ashley = 3 × 74 = 222
Hazel = 6 × 74 = 444

so the perpendicular line goes through the given pointyou would get a perpendicular line at some random location

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
