A bookshelf is 3 ½ feet long. Each book on the shelf in ⅝ inches wide. How many books will fit on the shelf?
n200080 [17]

Divide the width of the shelf by the widthof the books.

First rewrite feet as inches:

1 foot = 12 inches.

3 1/2 feet x 12 inches per foot = 42 inches

Now divide the width of the shelf by the width of the book:

Now you have 42  /  5/8

When dividing by a fraction flip the second fraction over and change division to multiplication:

42 x 8/5

Now Multiply across:

7/2 x 8/5 = (42 x 8) /5 = 336/5 = 67.2

Round to the nearest whole number: 67

The shelf will hold 67 books.

Jeanie sells M&Ms out of her giant bag at 4 for 5 cents. The machine at the store sells you 9 for 25 cents. Which is the bet
Marina CMI [18]
Okay for problem 1 heres my explanation
So if you can get 4 bags for 5 cents so I multiplied 5 by 5 to get 25 cents and multiplied 4 by 5 and got 20 for 25 cents but the machine sells you 9 for 25 cents so if you get the m&ms from Jeanie you'll get more for your money if you get it from jeanie
Now problem 2
Now if tom sells 10 cards for 35 cents so theres a 5 cent difference for 2 more cards now 3 cents will be the most likley for the price for one of toms cards and toms price should have been 33 cents so your only being robbed of 2 cents not a big amount but we'll still look at the other guy 12 cards for 40 cents now if we look at how much toms cards will be if you bought 12 is only 39 cents 1 cent less than the other guy so in conclusion if you buy from Tom you get the better buy
Now problem 3
simple mutipily 19x4 and 76 cents the guys at the firework stands charge 85 for four so if you go to the hardware store and buy your fireworks there you get a better deal.
okay so im running out of time so someone else is gonna answer the last problem... sorry m8

Use the diagram, which is not drawn to scale to find AD if you know that AC=24 & BC=12
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Option b. AD=18\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

In the right triangle ABC

<em>Find the sine of angle CAB</em>

sin( ---> the sine of angle CAB is equal to divide the opposite side angle CAB (BC) by the hypotenuse (AC)

substitute

sin(

simplify

sin( ---->equation A

step 2

In the right triangle BDC

<em>Find the sine of angle CBD</em>

sin( ---> the sine of angle CBD is equal to divide the opposite side angle CBD (DC) by the hypotenuse (BC)

substitute

sin( ----> equation B

step 3

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem

Triangles ABC and BDC are similar by AA Similarity Theorem

therefore

m∠CBD≅m∠CAB

equate equation A and equation B

\frac{DC}{12}=\frac{1}{2}

solve for DC

DC=\frac{12}{2}=6\ units

step 4

Find the value of AD

AD=AC-DC

substitute the values

AD=24-6=18\ units
