Answer: Garrett Jones gathered 388 pecks of oranges.

Garrett Jones gathered 3104 quarts of oranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Garrett Jones gathered 97 bushels of oranges from his orange trees.

Since 1 bushel= 4 pecks

Therefore, 97 bushels = $4\times97=388\ \text{pecks}$

Hence, Garrett Jones gathered 388 pecks of oranges.

Also, 1 peck= 8 quarts

Therefore, 388 pecks= $8\times388=3104\text{ quarts}$

Hence, Garrett Jones gathered 3104 quarts of oranges.

STatiana [176]

To determine the correct statement in the choices presented, we first have to solve the area of the tray. We assume it to be in a rectangular form so the area is:

Area = 10 in x 10 in x 7/2.54 in = 275.59 in³ for the paint tray
1 gallon paint = 231 in³ paint

Therefore, the correct answer is the first option. <span>The paint will not fill the tray by 44.59 in</span>³<span>.</span>

Total value of ratio = 4+3+1 = 8

value of 1 unit = 64/8 = 8

numbers are 4(8), 3(8), 1(8) = 32, 24, 8

so, the greatest number is 32

A blueprint for a house has a scale of 1:5 feet. The living room has a length of 2.5 inches and a width of 3 inches. What is the

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up as a proportion, with inches on the top and feet on the bottom for our scale. We will find the actual length first, then we'll find the width.

$\frac{in}{ft}:\frac{1}{5}=\frac{2.5}{x}$

Cross multiply to get that the actual length is 5(2.5) = 12.5 feet. Now for the width:

$\frac{in}{ft}:\frac{1}{5}=\frac{3}{x}$

Cross multiply to get that the actual width is 5(3) = 15 feet.

If you want the area of the room, multiply the length times the width to get

A = 15(12.5)

A = 187.5 feet squared

The width of a rectangle is 6 2/3 inches. The length of the rectangle is twice its width. What is the perimeter of the rectangle

hichkok12 [17]

A perimeter of a rectangle is:
$2(l+w)$

They give you the width, but let's convert it to an improper fraction first:
$6 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{20}{3}$

The length is twice the width so it is:
$\frac{20}{3}*2 = \frac{40}{3}$

Now, we are ready to solve, plug in values in the perimeter formula:
$2( \frac{40}{3}+ \frac{20}{3}) = 2(\frac{60}{3}) = \frac{120}{3} = 40$

So, 40 is your answer.

Triangle MNO is an equilateral triangle with sides measuring units. What is the height of the triangle? a) 12 units b) 24 units

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The height of the equilateral triangle is 24 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question above, the unit of the side of the equilateral triangle is not given. If the complete question is:

Triangle MNO is an equilateral triangle with sides measuring 16 square root of 3 units, then the length of each side is 16√3 units.

To find the height of the triangle, we use Pythagoras theorem

MP^2 + PO^2 = MO^2

Let MP^2 be x

x^2 + {(16√3)/2}^2 = (16√3)^2

X^2 + (256*3)/4 = 256*3

4x^2 + 768 = 768* 4

4x^2 + 768 = 3072

4x^2 = 3072-768

4x^2 = 2304

X^2 = 2304/4

X^2 = 576

x= √576

x = 24 units
