Answer:

The correct unit price would be $1.23.

The contractor divided 103.32 by 7, resulting in an error.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know a dozen equals 12, then 7 dozen looks like:

7(12)

Multiply.

84

Now we know the contractor purchases 84 pairs of padded work gloves.

Let's find our unit price:

<em>unit price =</em> \frac{cost}{units}

Substitute.

<em>unit price = </em>\frac{103.32}{84}

Divide.

<em>unit price = </em>1.23<em />

<em>__</em>

To find the error of the contractor, let's try substituting in a number (7) provided in the question to see if we get $14.76 per pair:

\frac{103.32}{7}

Divide.

14.76

lara [203]

Answer:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Michelle (he ? ) has 11/12 quarts of paint, and need 1/6 per quart to paint, we do 11/12 / 1/6 = 11/2, or 5.5. We cannot paint .5 of a block, so Michelle can only paint 5 quarts.

What would be the actual length, if the length of the model is 25 ft and the scale factor is less
Sidana [21]

Answer:

20ft

Explanation:

You multiply the model length by the scale factor to find the actual length. <u>If the scale factor is less than zero, then the actual size will be smaller than the model</u>. Therefore, your answer would be 20ft.

Specifically, the scale factor is .8 if the actual size is 20ft, 1 if the actual size is 25ft, and 1.2 if the actual size is 30ft.
