A271⁄2-mile stretch of road needs repaving. a company bid on the repaving project, saying they could repave 21⁄4 miles of road per week. how many weeks will the company take to completely repave the stretch of road?

turn each number into an improper fraction

27 1/2 = (2*27+1 )/2  = 55/2

2 1/4 = (4*2+1)/4  = 9/4

55/2 divided by 9/4

copy dot flip

55/2 * 4/9

220/18

110/9                                       12*9 = 108

12    2/9  weeks

or if we round   13 weeks

28

step-by-step explanation:

8+8+6+6

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
