We first calculate Emily's rate by dividing the distance from her home to the post office by the time it took her to travel that distance. From 8:25 to 8:29 (and 30 seconds), there are exactly 4.5 minutes. Thus, the rate is equal to,
                                   r = (0.75 miles) / (4.5 minutes) = 1/6 miles/min
Then, we divide the given distance from her home to school by the calculate rate to determine the total number of minutes it will take her to travel to school.
                               t = (3.42 miles)/(1/6 miles/min) = 20.52 minutes
Adding this to 8:25 will give us an answer of 8:45 and 31.2 seconds. She will not be late.

An = a1 + (n - 1)(d)
Where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference.
First find d, the common difference.
24, ____, 32
a3 a4 a5
Subtract 32-24 = 8
Subtract a5 - a3 = 2
Divide 8/2 = 4
d = 4
Use d and one of the values they give us to find a1.
a3 = 24
24 = a1 + (3 - 1)(4)
24 = a1 + 2(4)
24 = a1 + 8
Subtract 8 from both sides
16 = a1
an = 16 + (n - 1)(4)
Can also be written
an = 16 + 4n - 4
an = 4n + 12

Lewis drove 14 miles north and 48 miles east. On his return trip he drove home diagonally. How much shorter was the return trip?
Lina20 [59]
12 miles, Because using the Pythagorean theorem, A squared plus B squared = C squared. So 14 squared +48 squared equals 2500. The square root of 2500 is 50, so the total of 14+48 is 62-50 is 12 miles shorter
