Answer:
7 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
You would have 6 full boxes of 36 cupcakes, but you would have 4 remaining. You wouod need 1 more box to fit all of them, therefore 7 boxes, at least.
You need to add up all 3 mixed numbers to find the total laps.
2 + 1/4 + 1 + 1/2 + 3 + 5/8 =
(2 + 1 + 3) + (1/4 + 1/2 + 5/8) =
6 + (2/8 + 4/8 + 5/8) =
6 + (11/8) =
6 + (1 + 3/8) =
7 3/8 laps
If you're solving for g then move all terms to the left side and set equal to zero. Then set each factor equal to zero.
And your answer becomes 
If you're solving for r then then move all terms to the left side and set equal to zero. Then set each factor equal to zero and your answer is 
Rounded to the nearest cent which I would assume is the nearest hundredth, the answer is 1.12
Y = yo + Vot - (gt^2)/2
y = 10 + 27t - 16.087t^2 [I used g = 32.174 ft/s^2]
You can find y with the quadratic formula or probe with the different times given.
I tried with t = 2 s and found
y = 10 + 27(2) - 16.087 (4) = 10 + 54 - 64.348 = -0.348
Then that is the answer, t = 2s.
