Answer:
The correct way to interpret the difference of a number divided by 6 and 5 equals 8 is
n/6 - 5 = 8. I believe that another tutor has misled you; there should be only one division, applying to n only.
Answer:
C. 2.0 < t < 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
time = distance / speed
The circumference of the lake is given by ...
C = πd = 2π miles ≈ 6.28 miles
Then Johanna's time is ...
(6.28 mi)/(3 mi/h) ≈ 2.09 h
This time is in the interval (2, 2.5), so matches choice C.

<em>Alternate solution</em>
If we take pi to be 3, then this boils down to ...
2×3/3 = 2 . . . hours
Pi is on the order of 5% more than 3, so her time will be on the order of 5% more than 2 hours, or just above 2, but not as great as 2.5 hours. This sort of estimating can get you to the correct answer without a calculator.
Answer:
8yz+xy
like terms and then solve it
Perimeter = 18 miles
Perimeter = 2a + 2b
2a + 2b = 18
a = ?
b = 7
18 = 2a + 2*7
18 = 2a + 14
2a = 18 - 14
2a = 4
a = 2
Area = a * b
Area = 2 * 7 = 14 miles2
