4/6 = 0.66 yard
5/7 = 0.71 yard
So, therefore 5/7 is longer.
Answer: The first day the author reaches 100 days is on day 16.
To solve this problem, you could use a graphing calculator to graph the given equation. Then, determine when this line crosses 100. It crosses when x = 15.539. Therefore, we would have to round up to 16 so it is at least 100.
You could use the quadratic equation to solve: 100 = x^2 -12x + 45
Either you will get 16. If you use the quadratic formula, make sure to only use the positive answer.
Both have the same denominator
