Answer:
295 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that Speedy the Sloth drinks tea at a steady rate of 2/7 cups per hour.
Yesterday she drank 1 cup and today she drank 17/42 of a cup more than yesterday. This means today she drank 1 + 17/42 cups.
Time taken to drink 2/7 of a cup = 1 hour = 60 minutes
Time taken to drink 1 cup = minutes
Time taken to drink 1+17/42 cups = minutes
Since she drinks tea as long as she stay awakes. This means, she stayed awake for 295 minutes today.

Step-by-step explanation:
Width of the sign made by Darius initially = 2 feet
Length of the sign = 2 feet 6 inches
Dimension of the flyer are 10 inches by 8 inches. Since, in original sign the measure of length is greater, therefore, the length of flyer is 10 inches and its width is 8 inches.
In order to find the scale factor we must convert the lengths and widths to same units. Lets convert the length and width of sign into inches.
Since, 1 feet = 12 inches
Length of the sign = 2 feet 6 inches = 2(12) + 6 inches = 30 inches
Width of the sign = 2 feet = 2(12) inches = 24 inches
Now we can find the scale factor by either comparing the lengths or widths of both the designs. Scale factor will be equal to the ratio of corresponding lengths/widths.
So, the scale factor would be:
Length of Flyer : Length of Sign
= 10 inches : 30 inches
= 1 : 3
=
This shows, the length of flyer is times as that of the sign. So, the scale factor that Darius must use is
. The length and width of the flyer are
as that of the sign.
The same scale factor would result if we would have used the ratio of widths instead of the lengths.
Scale Factor = Width of Flyer : Width of sign
= 8 : 24
= 1 : 3
Therefore, Darius must type the scale factor of in his computer to get the size of the flyer.
