There are two possibilities, and we don't know which situation is true.
<em>#1).</em> School is in the middle, between home and grandparents.
Home --------- 3/8 ----------- School --------- 2/8 ------- Grandparents .
If this is true, then in the whole day, Tasha walks
(3/8 + 2/8 + 2/8 + 3/8) = 10/8 = <u>1.25 miles</u> .
===========================================
<em>#2):</em> Grandparents house is in the middle, between home and school.
Tasha passes by them on her way to school, and stops there to visit
on her way back home.
Home ------- 1/8 ------- Grandparents ---------- 2/8 ---------- School
If this is true, then in the whole day, Tasha walks
(3/8 + 2/8 + 1/8) = 6/8 = <u>3/4 mile</u> .
In order to use the simple interest formula, we first define the variables. The interest would be equal to Samuel's desired amount $ 2,488 minus the principal amount of $ 1,800 which is then equal to $ 688. The rate must be in decimal form which is equal to 0.12 while t is expressed in years. Substituting the values, t is equal to 3. Thus, it will take 36 <span>months for Samuel's account balance to reach $2,448. </span>
Using proportions, it is found that he can sort 2160 pieces in 45 minutes.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.
He can sort 8 pieces of mail in 10 seconds, hence the number of pieces he can sort per second is given by:
8/10 = 0.8 pieces per second.
45 minutes have 45 x 60 = 2700 seconds, hence the number of pieces is:
2700 x 0.8 = 2160 pieces.
He can sort 2160 pieces in 45 minutes.

#SPJ1
A) Variable = x ( miles Tim walked )
B) Tim walked X miles, Molly walked 4+x miles ( 4 more than Tim)
Equation: x + x+4 = 10
C) x +x+4 = 10
2x+4 = 10
2x =6
x = 3
D)
Tim walked 3 miles, Molly walked 7 miles
