- I bought a new gas lawn mower the other day. This new mower mows faster than the old electric (environmental) one. Why, you ask? It is because the old mower cut a 21 inch path, while the new one cuts a 22 inch path. So how much time did I save? Look at some facts. My lawn is a rectangle measuring 150 feet by 105 feet I mow the lawn in strips and always in the same direction (length or width) My walking speed is 120 feet/minute It takes 5 seconds to turn around after each strip How much time did I save if I mow back and forth along the width or if I mow back and forth along the length? Pick one and figure it out. My neighbor does not like minutes the noise it makes, but I do!arrow_forwardAnother question that's really throwing me off please help.arrow_forwardPlease describe the answers step by step since it is difficult to figure it out since the answers are cut off.arrow_forward
- Akira is running around a circular track. Akira runs counterclockwise. From where he starts, it takes him 22 seconds to reach the easternmost point of the track. It takes him 95 seconds to run one complete lap.Bob starts running at the same time as Akira. Bob starts from the northernmost point and runs clockwise. Bob and Akira pass each other for the first time after 26 seconds. How long does Bob take to run one lap of the track? The answer to this question should be the amount of time in seconds rounded to four decimal places that it takes for Bob to run a complete lap around the circular track.arrow_forwardI bought a new gas lawn mower the other day.
