Assuming that the room is rectangle and carpet is rectangle
area=legnth times width
legnth=longer than width
12  is longer than 8
12ft=legnth
8ft=width
 
now convert to yards
1 yard=3 feet
1 foot=1/3 yard
12 ft times 1/3=4yards
8 ft times 1/3=8/3yards
multiply
 
area=4 tiimes 8/3
area=32/3
area=10 and 2/3 square yards

Why can you use cross products to solve the proportion StartFraction 18 over 5 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 100 EndFractio

Answer:

  it is application of the multiplication property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use "cross products" to solve any proportion. What looks like a "cross product" is just application of the multiplication property of equality. That property says the variable value is unchanged if both sides of the equation are multiplied by the same value.

For your fraction, the "cross product" is what you get when you multiply both sides of the equation by 500.

  \dfrac{18}{5}=\dfrac{x}{100}\qquad\text{given}\\\\\dfrac{18\cdot5\cdot100}{5}=\dfrac{x\cdot5\cdot100}{100}\qquad\text{multiply by $5\cdot100$}\\\\18\cdot100=5\cdot x\qquad\text{cancel common factors; looks like cross product}

__

Note that the next step here is to divide by the x-coefficient, the 5 that was in the left-side denominator.

  \dfrac{18\cdot100}{5}=x\qquad\text{divide by 5}

Please also note that this is exactly the same result you would get by multiplying the original equation by the original denominator of x.

A list of numbers is shown; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a list of 10 numbers (n = 10) ordered from lower to higher.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

The median is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample. Since n is even, there is no middle value and the median is defined as the mean between the two middle values, in this case, 5 and 6. Then,

median = 5 + 6 / 2 = 5.5

How to find the percent of change between numbers


First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.


Increase = New Number - Original Number


Then:  divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.


% increase = Increase ÷ Original Number × 100.


If your answer is a negative number, then this is a percentage decrease.


To calculate percentage decrease:

First: work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing.


Decrease = Original Number - New Number


Then: divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.\


% Decrease = Decrease ÷ Original Number × 100


If your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage increase.


If you wish to calculate the percentage increase or decrease of several numbers then we recommend using the first formula. Positive values indicate a percentage increase whereas negative values indicate percentage decrease.

The answer is 24.22%
