For the first question, we’ll provide some suggestions on how to proceed. Of course, if you can think of a different way that works for you, that’s not just okay, it’s GREAT.
On the way to the airport a few years ago, my wife’s car hit a huge hole in a construction area, damaging the front right wheel. Huge. I think there may have been alligators living in it. The temporary tire forced us to decrease our average speed by 15 miles per hour. If the 39-mile drive usually takes us 45 minutes, how much time should we have budgeted for the drive home
A pool is being built in a new student rec center at Falcon Community College. The pool is designed to be a 60 ft by 26 ft rectangle, and the deck around the pool is going to be lined with slate tiles that are 1-ft squares. How many tiles are needed? (This is not quite as easy as it seems at first . . .)
