1. She starts with $255.

2. She purchases 8 books for an unknown cost per book, so she spends 8 * (unknown cost per book).

3. She is left with $15. 

Let's set up an equation:

c= \text{ cost per book}

255-8c=15

Now, we solve. First, we'll subtract 255 from each side:

-8c=-240

Now, we'll divide through by -8:

c=30

The cost per book is $30. Let's check it out:

$30/book * 8 books = $240

She started with $255 and spent $240, which leaves her with $15. Exactly what the original question indicated. We're done. (Those are some expensive books.)

It took Alice 6 5/6 hours to drive to her grandparents' house for Thanksgiving. On the way home, she ran into traffic and it too
salantis [7]

Time taken to drive to her grandparents house = 6 5/6  hours

We convert this mixed into improper fraction, we get = 41/6 hours

Time taken to drive to her grandparents house = 41/6 hours

Time taken to drive back = 8 2/9 hours

We convert this mixed into improper fraction, we get = 74/9 hours

Time taken to drive back = 74/9 hours

Difference between the two = 74/9 - 41/6  = (148-123)/18 = 25/18 hours = 1 7/18 hours

Therefore it took 1 7/18 hours longer to drive back.
