Answer:
A. Miguel has the greatest spread.
The range of the two persons can be determined by:
Adam's range = 106 -91
= 15
Miguel's range = 105 -86
= 19
B. Considering the middle 50% of the training time, the person with the least spread is Adam.
Adam - 103 105 104 106 100
Miguel - 88 86 89 93 105
Adam's 50% range = 106 - 100
= 6
Miguel's 50% range = 105 - 86
= 19
Adam has the least spread
C. Miguel is inconsistent with the time set for training compared to that of Adam.
The answers to parts 2a and 2b show that there is a wide variation in the time that Miguel spend during training, but a minimum variation in the time spent by Adam during training.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
9 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Do the question algebraically, represented by this equation:
let x be the shorter piece
x + (x + 8) = 26 (longer piece is 8 units longer)
Remove brackets
x + x + 8 = 26 Combine like terms
2x + 8 = 26 Start isolating "x"
2x + 8 - 8 = 26 - 8 Subtract 8 from both sides
2x = 18
2x/2 = 18/2 Divide both sides by 2
x = 9 shorter piece
The shorter piece would be 9 inches.
If you needed the longer piece too:
longer piece = x + 8
x + 8
= 9 + 8
= 17
The longer piece would be 17 inches.
Check your answer:
Longer + Shorter = 26 Substitute the lengths
17 + 9 = 26 Add
26 = 26 same number
LS = RS left side equals right side
The answer is correct.
