first transform feet into inches 4.5 feet = 48.5 inches; 5.5 feet = 60.5 inches;

then get the area in inches : 48.5 x 60.5 = 2934.25 inches; the area of one patch is 18 x 24 = 432 inches

so now divide the area of the desktop by the area of one patch

2934.25 / 432 = 6.7 so she needs 7 patches

During the spring car wash, the activities club washed 14 fewer cars than during the summer car wash. They washed a total of 96
Mashutka [201]
You can make an equation to solve this, but establishing knowns, unknowns, and relationships.

# in spring wash = x
# in summer       = x + 14
Total Washes     = 96

we know:
total = summer + spring

96 = (x) + (x + 14)
96 = 2x + 14
82 = 2x

"x" = 41
