into 2 mile segments that were assigned to
the group members. Adrian and Ellie’s
section starts at the 2 mile point.
• If they start at the 2 mile point and clean
for 5/3 miles, how far are they from the
start of the math club section. How many
more miles of their 2 mile section are left
to clean?
Problem C
