Edwin walks for 2 1/2 hours. he walks 1 2/3 miles in the first hour, 1 3/4 miles in the second hour and 1/4 of the total distance in the last 1/2 hour. what is the total distance edwin walks?

The total distance is 41/9 = 4 5/9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Total time is 2 1/2 hours.  

First hour, he walks 1 2/3 = 5/3 miles.

Second hour, he walks 1 3/4 = 7/4 miles.

The last half hour he walks 1/4 of total distance. If we call total distance x.

Now, we can eliminate the denominator, multiplying by four and by three.  

Total distance is 4 5/9 miles

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
