2 1/4 miles => 1 week

1 mile => 1 ÷ 9/4

( 9/4 is an improper fraction of 2 1/4 )

12 1/2 miles => ( 1 ÷ 9/4 ) × 25/2

= 50/9

= 5 5/9 weeks

( 25/2 is an improper fraction of 12 1/2 )

Therefore, it will take 5 5/9 weeks for the company to replace the stretch of road.

( you can round it off to 6 weeks if the qn specify to give to the nearest whole number )

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The Alans's average for the course is 84.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

There are 4 tests, A Term paper and a Final examination.

Score = 92, 78, 82, 90.

Term paper score = 80

Final examination score = 86

Weighted mean = ∑ w.f/∑w

     also the sum of all the weights is 100% = 1

weighted mean = 15%*92 + 15%*78+15%*82+15%*90+20%*80+20%*86/1

                         = 51.3 + 33.2

                         =  84.5

Therefore the Alans's average for the course is 84.5
