What is Unit Conversion?

Conversion of one unit to another unit of measurement for the same quantity using multiplication/division by conversion factors is known as unit conversion.
The units are expressed using scientific notation and converted into numerical values as per the quantities.

Anais bought 2 1/2 yards of ribbon.

And she had 2 feet 8 inches left after trimming some curtains.

The first thing to do is to convert all units to inches;

From standard conversion rate.

1 yard = 36 inches

As such 2 1/2 yards of ribbon in inches will be:

= 2 1/2 × 36 inches

= 5/2 × 36 inches

= 5 × 18 inches

= 90 inches of ribbon bought.

Similarly, since 1 foot = 12 inches.

The amount of curtains left after trimming is:

= ( ( 2 × 12 ) + 8 )inches

= (24 + 8) inches

= 32 inches

If Anais bought 90 inches of ribbon and she had 32 inches of ribbon left after trimming some curtains.

It implies that the number of inches of ribbon that Anais used is:

= 90 inches - 32 inches

= 58 inches

Therefore, we can conclude that Anais used 58 inches of ribbon.

Find the shortest side of a triangle whose perimeter is 64 if the ratio of two of its sides is 4:3 and the third side is 20 less

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The shortest side of the triangle is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides the triangle be x, y and z.

From the question, the perimeter of the rectangle is 64, that is

x + y + z = 64 ...... (1)

Also, the ratio of two of its sides is 4:3, that is x:y = 4:3, then we can write that x/y = 4/3 ⇒ 3x = 4y ...... (2)

The third side, z, is 20 less than the sum of the other two, that is

z + 20 = x + y ...... (3)

Substitute equation (3) into (1)

Then,

z + 20 + z = 64

2z +20 = 64

2z = 64 - 20

2z = 44

z = 44/2 k

z = 22

From equation (3)

z + 20 = x + y

Then, k

22 + 20 = x +y

42 = x + y

x = 42 - y ...... (4)

Substitute this into equation 2

3x = 4y

3(42-y) = 4y

126 - 3y = 4y

4y + 3y = 126

7y = 126

y = 126/7

y = 18

Substitute this into equation (4)

x = 42 - y

x = 42 - 18

x = 24

∴ x = 24, y = 18 and z = 22

Hence, the shortest side of the triangle is 18.

Jack is trying to make extra money on his summer vacation from school. He works two different jobs, earning $9 per hour washing

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

$57

$9w+6d$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Earnings per hour for washing cars = $9

Earnings per hour for walking dogs = $6

Number of hours for which car washing is done = $w$

Number of hours taken for walking dogs = $d$

Earnings for $w$ hours for washing cars = Per hour earnings multiplied by number of hours = $9 $w$

Earnings for $d$ hours for walking dogs = Per hour earnings multiplied by number of hours = $6 $d$

Total earnings by both = $( $9w+6d$ )

Now, given that

Number of hours spent washing cars = 5 hours

Number of hours spent walking dogs = 2 hours

Therefore, total earnings by both = 9 $\times$ 5 + 6 $\times$ 2 = $57
