Each ruler would cost about 9 cents
To compare their speed (rate), we need to have the same time or same distance to use as a reference.
Matt ran 50 meters per 10 seconds. Molly ran 30 meters per 5 seconds. If she ran for 5 more seconds, she would have gone 30 more meters, for 30 meters per 10 seconds. Thus, Molly went faster.
Alternately, you could calculate their speeds in meters per (one) second and compare. 50 meters per 10 seconds is 5 meters per second, and 30 meters per 5 seconds is 6 meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:
The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that the number of complex roots a polyomial has is equal to its highest exponent. This is a squared polynomial; second degree; quadratic. When it is factored, no matter what types of numbers you get as the solution, you will ALWAYS have 2 of them. When this quadratic is factored, we get that x = 3 and x = 3. That means that this is a quadratic that touches the x-axis at (3, 0). It doesn't go through, it only touches. We do have 2 roots, but since they're the same, we say we have a multiplicity 2 of that root. The closest you'll come to that in your choices is A. Apparently your text refers to multiplicity 2 as a double root.
