Your answer is the second option, she should choose the rectangular tiles because the total cost will be $8 less.
To find this answer we need to first find the total cost for using square tiles, and the cost for using rectangular tiles, and compare them. We can do this by finding the area of each tile individually, calculating how many tiles we would need, and multiplying this by the cost for one tile:
Square tiles:
The area of one square tile is 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4 ft. Therefore we need 40 ÷ 1/4 = 160 tiles. If each tile costs $0.45, this means the total cost will be $0.45 × 160 = $72
Rectangular tiles:
The area of one rectangular tile is 2 × 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 ft. Thus we need 40 ÷ 1/2 = 80 tiles. Each tile costs $0.80, so the total cost will be 80 × $0.80 = $64.
This shows us that the rectangular tiles will be cheaper by $8.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

Answer:
Therefore,
Wind speed of a Tornado when it travels 4 miles is 121.0 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The wind speed near the center of a tornado is represented by the equation,
Where,
d = the distance, in miles
S = the wind speed, in miles per hour.
To Find:
S = ? at d = 4 miles
Solution:
We have
.........Given
Substitute d = 4 in above equation we get,
Rounding the answer to the nearest tenth we have
Therefore,
Wind speed of a Tornado when it travels 4 miles is 121.0 miles per hour.
Let number of senators = x, then:-
number of representatives = 5x - 25 so
x + 5x - 25 = 515
6x = 540
x = 90
number of reps = 515 - 90 = 425
so there are 90 senators and 425 representatives.
