Answer:
482.84 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a way to factoring trinomials (there exist different equivalent methods).
Multiply the trinomial but the term accompanying . This is the second line. Then, you could take the square of the 
, ant try to create a factor () () that will correspond to the expression in the second line. That is, we want 
In ? we put the corresponding numbers that, if we multiply them we will obtain 42, and if we add them we will obtain 13. This numbers are 6 and 7. Then, we have 
The last step is divide by the number that we multipy in the first step.
Lynne ran farther and by 7/8 miles
You can tell Lynne ran further because she ran 3 whole miles while shelly only ran 2 whole miles. Now you have to subtract to see how much Lynne had ran more.
You found a common denominator between 8 and 4. 4 can turn into 8. so you multiply 4x2 and 1x2 to get a mixed number of 2 2/8
Now you have to turn 3 1/8 because you cannot subtract 2/8 from 1/8. You can turn the fraction into 2 9/8 because there are 8 pieces in a whole.
2 9/8 - 2 2/8 = 0 7/8
Hope this helps! :)
