When the X term is one, and doesn't have a leading coefficient, then you can factor it using the box and diamond method. look up videos on Khan Academy of the box and diamond method for solving trinomials. For number 9, you have a difference of squares. That means you can factor to just 2 terms. (x+4)(x-4) this works because 16 has an easy square root, and the sign in between is a negative(difference)
2 1/4 miles => 1 week
1 mile => 1 ÷ 9/4
( 9/4 is an improper fraction of 2 1/4 )
12 1/2 miles => ( 1 ÷ 9/4 ) × 25/2
= 50/9
= 5 5/9 weeks
( 25/2 is an improper fraction of 12 1/2 )
Therefore, it will take 5 5/9 weeks for the company to replace the stretch of road.
( you can round it off to 6 weeks if the qn specify to give to the nearest whole number )
