Answer:
The correct answer is 12 and a half or 13 weeks.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert the values to decimals.
27 1/2 = 27.5
2 1/4 = 2.25
Then, divide miles of road that need to be repaved by the number of miles that are repaved per week.
27.5/2.25 = 12.2222222222222
Round that up to 12 and a half weeks or 13 weeks.

Answer:
13.8654599313 and -0.8654599313
Step-by-step explanation:
If one of the numbers is x, then the other is 13-x, and their product is ...
x(13 -x) = -12
x^2 -13x = 12 . . . . multiply by -1 and simplify
x^2 -13x +6.5^2 = 12 +6.5^2 . . . . complete the square
(x -6.5)^2 = 54.25
x -6.5 = √54.25
x = 6.5 +√54.25 ≈ 13.8654599313
and the other number is ...
13 -x = 13 -13.8654599313 = -0.8654599313
The two numbers are 13.8654599313 and -0.8654599313.
