The area A of a rectangle is A = bh, where b is the base of the rectangle and h is the height. The area of each rectangle with side lengths 1.5 ft and 2 ft is 1.5 × 2 = 3ft2. Since there are two rectangles with these dimensions, the combined area is 2 × 3 = 6 ft2. The area of each rectangle with side lengths 1.5 ft and 2.5 ft is 1.5 × 2.5 = 3.75 ft2. The area of each rectangle with side lengths 2 ft and 2.5 ft is 2 × 2.5 = 5 ft2. Since there are two rectangles of each type, the combined area is 2 × 3.75 + 2 × 5 =17.5 ft2. <u><em>So, the total surface area of the box is 6 ft2+ 17.5 ft2 = 23.5 ft2</em></u>

The employee needs to wrap 8 boxes, each with a surface area of 23.5 ft2. So, the combined surface area needing to be wrapped is 8 × 23.5 = 188 ft2. Since there is only 160 square feet of wrapping paper left, the employee will not be able to wrap all of the gifts

Solve equation for the given variable

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

p=30

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to subtract 10 from both sides to get 1/2p=25. You do this just because simplifying is much easier.

Then, you need to isolate p, so you divide 1/2 by both sides, which is the same thing as multiplying by 2. 1/2*2p=15*2.

Simplifying, you get p=30.

Simplify each exponential expression using the properties of exponents and match it to the correct answer.

saveliy_v [14]

1) (2 $\times$ 3^-2)^3 (5 $\times$ 3^2)^2 / (3^-2)(5 $\times$ 2)^2 = 2

2) (3^3) (4^0)^2 (3 $\times$ 2)^-3 (2^2) = 1/2

3) (3^7 $\times$ 4^7) (2 $\times$ 5)^-3 (5)^2 / (12^7) (5^-1) (2^-4) = 2

4) (2.3)^-1 (2^0) / (2.3)^-1 = 1

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Step 1 :

(2 $\times$ 3^-2)^3 (5 $\times$ 3^2)^2 / (3^-2)(5 $\times$ 2)^2

⇒ (2^3) (3^-6) (5^2) (3^4) / (3^-2) (10^2)

⇒ (2.2^2.5^2) (3^-6.3^4) / (3^-2) (10^2)

⇒ (2)(10^2) (3^-2) / (3^-2) (10^2)

⇒ 2

Step 2 :

(3^3) (4^0)^2 (3 $\times$ 2)^-3 (2^2)

Any number with power 'zero' is 1.

⇒ (3^3) (1^2) (3^-3) (2^-3) (2^2)

⇒ (2^(-3+2))

⇒ 2^-1 = 1/2

Step 3 :

(3^7 $\times$ 4^7) (2 $\times$ 5)^-3 (5)^2 / (12^7) (5^-1) (2^-4)

⇒ (12^7) (2^-3) (5^-3) (5^2) / (12^7) (5^-1) (2^-4)

⇒ (2^-3) (5^(-3+2)) / (5^-1) (2^-4)

⇒ (2^-3) (5^-1) / (5^-1) (2^-4)

⇒ 1 / (2^-1)

⇒ 2

Step 4 :

(2.3)^-1 (2^0) / (2.3)^-1

⇒ (2^0)

⇒ Any number with power 'zero' is 1

⇒ 1

Eric spent $60 on 5 shirts that each cost the same price. two of the shirts were blue .how much did the blue shirts cost?

DaniilM [7]

since they cost the same we can work out the price of one by dividing 60 by 5 which is 12

so if each one costs 12 and we need the price of 2 then we just do 12×2 which is 24

the answer is $24
