There are 12 inches (in). in 1 foot (ft). which expression can be used to find the number of inches in 2.5 feet?

1 answer:

3 0

Given:
12 inches in 1 foot
number of inches in 2.5 feet

2.5 feet * 12 inches/1foot = 2.5 * 12 inches = 30 inches

1 foot + 1 foot + 0.5 foot = 2.5 feet
12 inches + 12 inches + 6 inches = 30 inches

12 inches : 1 foot = x : 2.5 feet
12 inches * 2.5 feet = x*1foot
30 inches * feet = x * foot
30 inches = x

If the total area of a picture measuring 10 inches by 12 inches plus a matting of uniform width surrounding the picture is 224 s

ELEN [110]

Let
x-----------> uniform width surrounding the picture

we know that
(10+2x)*(12+2x)=224-----> 120+20x+24x+4x²=224
4x²+44x+120-224=0
4x²+44x-104=0

using a graph tool-----> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure

the solution is
x=2 in
