The table is missing though but you may consider the following calculations :
Y = 1.6 x
for x = 1 minutes
Y = 1.6 laps
for x = 2 minutes
Y = 3.2 laps
for x = 3 minutes
Y = 4.8 laps
Answer: 5^7 x 3^7
You could also write 15^7

Answer:</h3>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
If Alex cut his wire 18 times, he ended up with 19 equal pieces. He kept 7, so has 7/19 of his 1/3 of the wire.
Bob cut his wire 20 times, so ended up with 21 pieces, of which he kept 9. So he has 9/21 = 3/7 of his 1/3 of the wire.
Claudia kept 1/13 of her 1/3 of the wire, so has the smallest piece.
Bob kept (3/7)·(1/3)·126 cm = 18 cm.
Alex kept (7/19)·(1/3)·126 cm ≈ 15.47 cm.
Bob kept the longest part of the original wire.
y = 3x - 1
x - y = -9
Subs y in second equation.
x - (3x - 1) = -9
x - 3x + 1 = -9
-2x = -9 - 1
-2x = -10
x = -10/-2
x = 5
Subs x
y = 3x - 1
y = 3.5 - 1
y = 15 - 1
y = 14
