Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Smitville is five times as far away from Cityville as it is from Jonesville, that means Smitville is exactly in between Cityville and Jonesville.

Hence, if the distance between Jonesville and Cityville is 288 km, then, the distance between Jonesville and Smitville will be half of 288km because Smitville is exactly between Cityville and Jonesville.

∴ 288/2 = 144 km is the distance between Jonesville and Smitville.
