well, rational = fractional, namely something you can write as a fraction, well, anything between -1 and -2 is just less than -1 so

Answer:
52
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find x. As BE and DE will have the same measurements, you can set your formula up as
5x+11=3x+17
5x=3x+17-11
5x-2x=6
2x=6
x=6/2
x=3
CE and AE will also have the same value, now substitute 3 in place of x to get the value of segment BE
5x+11
5*3+11 = 26
This also means that CE = 26 and AE = 26
AC = CE + AE
AC = 52
Go to math-way :) it will answer it
2 hours and 40 minutes :)
36x = 15480
x = 15480/36
x = 5160/12
x = 2580/6
x = 860/2
x = 430
