Answer:

15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

the 2 mph is a red herring. If there is a rate of 10 mph, and the trip took 1.5 hours, the 1 hour=10 miles, and the .5=5 miles, add em up and its 15 miles

Answer: the school is 2.5 miles from Sue's home.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance of the school from Sue's home.

Time = distance/speed

Sue walked from her home to her school at a constant rate of 2 miles per hour. It means that the time it took her to walk to the school is

x/2

She picked up her bicycle and rode back at a constant rate of 10 miles per hour. The distance covered is the same and the time spent in riding back home is

x/10

If the round trip took 1.5 hours, it means that

x/2 + x/10 = 1.5

Multiplying through by 10, it becomes

5x + x = 15

6x = 15

x = 15/6

x = 2.5 miles

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

24)  Since the area A of a rectangle is A = L * W, the length, L, is

 A          r³ - 24r - 5

------  =  ------------------

  W              r - 5

Let's find the quotient (the length) using synthetic division:

5   /    1    0    -24     -5

               5      25     5

        --------------------------

          1     5       1        0

Since the remainder is zero, we can take 1   5   1 as the coefficients of L, representing the length of the rectangle:

1x^2 + 5x + 1  =  L

25)   Recall that the area of a triangle of base B and height H is

A = (1/2)(B)(H).  We need to calculate H from the given A and B.

Multiplying both sides of this equation by 2, we get 2A = (B)(H), or

            2A         2(2c^3 + 16)        4(c^3 + 8)

(H) = ----------  =  -------------------- =  ---------------  =  4(c^2 - 2c + 4)  =  (H)

             B                  c + 2                  c + 2

Ivan has a piece of lumber 104 inches long. He is sawing it into 12-inch lengths to make fence posts. He says he can get about 9
Olegator [25]
Assuming the question is what Ivan is saying possible the answer is no based on multiplication. He could get at most 8 12-inch fence posts. 

12 x 8 = 96 leaving him 8 more inches of board. 
12 x 9 = 108 meaning he would need 4 more inches of lumber to make his last fence post uniform with the rest.
