The problem is a irrational number
Answer:
2.44 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Give the following :
Average miles to school = 12 miles per hour
Average Miles from school = 15 miles per hour
Total ride time : ( time to school + time from school) = 22 minutes = (22/60) = 0.3667
Recall:
Speed = distance / Time
Time = distance / speed
Let distance = d
For the scenario described :
d/12 + d/15 = 0.3667
(5d + 4d) / 60 = 0.3667
5d + 4d = 22
9d = 22
d = 22/9
d = 2.44 miles
x=8 is the answer fellow user
This is the quadratic equation
x = -b +/- (sq root)(b^2 - 4(a)(c) all over 2a
If inside the square root the value is <0. You can't get an answer.
Now figure the rest out

4 3/8 - 2 1/8 = 2.25
2.25= 9/4
9/4= 2 1/4
