Multiplication and distributive property are your friends for this problen

Before doing anything, we must convert the unit of feet into the unit of inches so that all the units match. You cannot multiply apples by oranges!

Since 1 ft = 12 inches, then a 17 foot piece of lumber is 204 inches long.

12(17) = 204

Now, we can write an equation.

Let x = the amount of logs that can be cut from the lumber

204 = x(18)

204/18 = x(18)/18

x = 11.333333.....

You do not want .333333.... of a log, so you can cut 11 logs max.

You will then have that .333333333.... inches of lumber left.

If one letter is chosen at random from the word refuse what is the probability that the letter chosen will be an e
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: The probability is given by the number of times the event could happen (in this case get an "e"), over the number of all the possibilities (in this case, the six letters of the word)

Therefore, probability \frac{letter_e}{all letter}=\frac{2}{6} =\frac{1}{3}

PLEASE HELP I WILL GIVE BRAINLEST
nadya68 [22]

OK.  All the work is in the attached drawing.

Please spend enough time with it to understand what was done and how, so that you can do the next problem like this one completely on your own.

Good luck !

==============================

Here's a picky pickypoint to think about concerning the "cost".  I'm not quite sure what to do about this:

The initial, one-time $55 is a "deposit".  If she doesn't smash the bike or steal it, she gets the $55 back when she returns the bike.  

So if she eventually gets the $55 back, <u><em>is it a cost</em></u> ? ?  I don't know how to think about it.

She does need to <em>give</em> them the $55 at the beginning, just to take the bike out.  So she has to have it with her and give it to them temporarily, even though she'll  get it back, and she'll still have it when she returns home.

So here's the story:  

-- While she HAS the bike, the graph correctly shows all the money she needs, in order to get the bike, and keep it for however long she keeps it.

-- Finally, at the end of the week, after she returns the bike and gets her $55 back, the line and everything on the graph will shift down by $55.  The line will start at zero, and the little red ordered pairs will also shift straight down and still be on the line.

To put it one more way:

-- While Jen has the bike, the y-intercept of the graph is $55.

-- After she returns the bike in good condition, the y-intercept is zero.

Find the cost price when,<br>(a) Selling price = Rs 725 and 15% gain​
Debora [2.8K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 725

profit rate (P%) = 15 %

Now

Cost Price (CP)

=  \frac{sp \:  \times 100}{100 + p\%}  \\  =  \frac{725 \times 100}{100 + 15}   \\  =  \frac{72500}{115}  \\  = rs \: 630.42
