Answer:

The person that ran farther is Tiffany who ran 5/6 miles which is 0.833 miles.

Tiffany ran 1/12 miles farther than Shayne.

Step-by-step explanation:

The person that ran farther is the one with the highest number of miles . The question simply means one should calculate the number between 5/6 miles and 3/4 miles which is greater .

The numbers can be converted to decimal numbers to ascertain which is greater.

5/6 = 0.833 miles

3/4 = 0.75 miles

The decimal number has shown plainly which is greater . The person that ran farther is Tiffany who ran 5/6 miles which is 0.833 miles.

How much farther

This is the difference between the two miles they covered

5/6 - 3/4 = (10 - 9)/12 = 1/12 or 0.0833 miles

Tiffany ran 1/12 miles farther than Shayne.

Mrs. Mitchell decided to grade her projects by giving each student 50 points if they turned in a project and then an additional

Let $c$ be the amount of parts the student answered correctly. Suppose that $s(c)$ is a function between $c$ and the score of a student's project. As the student initially receives a fixed $50$ points for turning the project in and $5$ points for each correct part, the function is initially:

$s(c) = 5c+50$

When the students receive $7$ points for each correct part, the coefficient of $c$ changes, as the amount of points received per correct answer increases. Thus:

$s(c) = 7c+50$ .
