16 miles I believe because if you take the total distance and multiply that by 2/5 you get 16 hope this helps.

Answer: He is [tex]\dfrac{1}{10}[/tex] of the distance from start to check point 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

When you get to the first checkpoint

he is  2/5 of the distance away to the second checkpoint.= [tex]\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

When you get to the second checkpoint you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish. = [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

so, the distance from start to the check point 1 is given by

[tex]\dfrac{2}{5}\times \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{20}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{10}[/tex]

Hence, he is [tex]\dfrac{1}{10}[/tex] of the distance from start to check point 1.
