Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
After lunch the friends walked 6 3/4 miles before arriving at the end of the trail.
The trail is 14 1/8 miles long.
Question asked:

Let the friends walk before lunch in miles = 
As total length of trail is given
, we can conclude:
Total length of trail = The friends walk before lunch in miles + The friends walk after lunch in miles

Subtracting both side by 

Taking LCM of 4 and 8 ,we get 8

Therefore, the friends walk before lunch is
.

The average rate over ![[2,b]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B2%2Cb%5D)
Average rate (m) is calculated using:

Where
![[a,b] = [2,b]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ba%2Cb%5D%20%3D%20%5B2%2Cb%5D)
So, we have:

Calculate f(b) and f(2)



So, we have:



Expand the numerator

Factorize

Factor out 3b + 6

Cancel out b - 2
