1) Yes, the relationship in the table is proportional. If, when you've been walking for 10 minutes, you are 1.5 miles away from home, and when you've been walking for 20 minutes, you are 1 mile away from home, and when you've been talking 30 minutes, you are 0.5 miles away from home, then we can see that there is a proportion that happens here. For every 10 minutes you walk, you get 0.5 miles closer to your home.
2) We know that you've been walking 10 minutes already at the start of this problem, and we know that you walk at a steady pace of 0.5 miles every 10 minutes, so we just need to add 0.5 miles to our starting point to get the distance from the school to home, which makes it 2 miles away.
3) An equation representing the distance between the distance from school and time walking could be something like this:
t = 20d
Where t is the amount of time it takes to get home (in this case, t = 40 minutes) and d is the distance you can walk in 10 minutes (in this case, 0.5 miles)
The equation is lame, but that's the best I could do :\
Hope that helped =)
If this is asking for the nearest hundred thousand, and not ten thousand, than you would round up to 100,000. 91,284 is close to 100,000.
For this, we need to find the area of the larger rectangle (The room) and subtract from that the area of the smaller, shaded rectangle (The rug).
A=LW (L=Length, W=Width, A=Area)
The larger rectangle first:
A=(15)(10)
A=150 feet squared
Now the Rug:
A=(12)(7)
A=84 feet squared
Now to find the area that is NOT covered by the rug, we subtract:
150-84
= 66 feet squared will NOT be covered by the rug.
Hope this Helps!

They are essentially asking us to solve:
Solving this equation for x tells us that it will take around 80.1 years for the materials in the vault to reduce to 357 pounds.
