It took alice 6 5/6 hours to drive to her grandparents' house for . on the way home, she ran into traffic and it took her 8 2/9 hours. how much longer did the return trip take?

Time taken to drive to her grandparents house = 6 5/6  hours

We convert this mixed into improper fraction, we get = 41/6 hours

Time taken to drive to her grandparents house = 41/6 hours

Time taken to drive back = 8 2/9 hours

We convert this mixed into improper fraction, we get = 74/9 hours

Time taken to drive back = 74/9 hours

Difference between the two = 74/9 - 41/6  = (148-123)/18 = 25/18 hours = 1 7/18 hours

Therefore it took 1 7/18 hours longer to drive back.

answer: d. $20

step-by-step explanation:

just took the test

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
