The fact that it can turn its head 180 degrees is just extra information. They tell us that it is 10.5 cm long. What they're asking for is the length in a mixed number, so 10.5 as a mixed number.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of eight and some number n is equal to 42
M = hours driven by Maria
c = hours driven by Carlos
since we know that Carlos was driving at an average of 52 mph, then in 1 hour he drove 52 miles, in 2 hours he drove 2*52 miles in "c" hours he drove c*52 miles or
52c.
Maria on the other hand is faster and does 54 mph, in 1 hour she does 1 * 54 miles, and on 2 hours she does 2 * 54 miles and in "m" hours she does m * 54 miles or
54m.
now, we know the total amount of miles they both drove is 217, so whatever "m" and "c" are we know that
54m + 52c = 217.
we also know it took 4.1 for the whole trip, so
m + c = 4.1.

so Maria drove for 1.9 hours.
How many hours did Carlos drive for? well, c = 4.1 - m.
