Rewriting the question, the given lengths that were cut from the board were 30 3/4 inches, 12 1/4 inches, and 16 1/4 inches. To obtain the remaining length of the board, all of the measurements cut are to be added and subtracted from 72 inches. This is shown below:
30 3/4 + 12 1/4 + 16 1/4 = 237/4 = 59.25 inches.
Remaining length of board = 72 - 59.25 = 12.75 inches.
Therefore, there will be 12.75 inches remaining of the board.
Answer:
Each shelter would get 121 blankets
And there would be 5 blankets left over
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the local homeless shelters received a donation of 852 blankets to help support the homeless population during the harsh winter months. They plan on distributing them to all 7 of the local shelters. How many blankets will each shelter get? Will there be any leftover? If so, how many?
From the above question
7 local shelters = 852 blankets
1 local shelters = x blankets
Cross Multiply.
7x = 852 blankets
x = 852 blankets/7
x = 121 5/7 blankets
Therefore, Each shelter would get 121 blankets
And there would be 5 blankets left over
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
16 - 5(3t - 4) = 8(-2t + 11) <em>use distributive property</em>: <em>a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>
16 - (5)(3t) - (5)(-4) = (8)(-2t) + (8)(11)
16 - 15t + 20 = -16t + 88
36 - 15t = -16t + 88 <em>subtract 36 from both sides</em>
-15t = -16t + 52 <em>add 16t to both sides</em>
t = 52
For this case we convert the mixed numbers to fractions:
Now we add the fractions:
We find the least common multiple of the denominators. The l.c.m is 8, then we divide by each denominator and multiply the result by each numerator.
8,375
Thus, the punch recipe implies 8.375 gallons. If we convert to a mixed number we have:
gallons
Answer:
gallons
