You would begin by multiplying 7/10 by 8 to get 5 3/5. then you would subtract 5 3/5 from 15 5/8 to get the remaining amount of clay after the eight bowls (401/40). lastly, divide the remainder of the clay by 7/10 to get the number of bowls that could be made with it - which is 14. the actual answer has a decimal, but you must have a whole number in order to make an entire bowl. you can check this by multiplying 7/10 by 22 (for the total number of bowls) and you get 15 2/5

mary has 39 square feet of patio bricks. each square brick has sides 1 foot long. what is the greatest perimeter of a rectangle
bearhunter [10]

-- The smallest perimeter you can make with a certain area
is a circle.

-- The NEXT smallest perimeter with the same area is a square.

   With 1-ft by 1-ft square bricks, the shortest perimeter she could
make would be by using her bricks to make it as square as possible. 
Without cutting bricks into pieces, the best she could do would be  

                           (13 bricks) x (3 bricks) .

                            =    (13-ft) x (3-ft)

           Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)

                             = (2 x 13-ft)  +  (2 x 3-ft) 
                           
                             =      (26-ft)  +  (6-ft)  =  32 feet  <== shortest perimeter.

-- Then, the more UNSQUARE you make it, the more perimeter
it takes to enclose the same area.  That means Mary has to make
a rectangle as long and skinny as she can.

The longest perimeter she can make (without cutting bricks into
pieces) is    (39 bricks) x (1 brick) .

                        = (39-ft)  x  (1-ft) .

    Perimeter  =  (2 x length) + (2 x width)

                       =   (2 x 39-ft)  +  (2 x 1-ft)

                       =        (78-ft)  +  (2-ft)     =     80 feet .    

What she'll have then is a brick path, 39 feet long and 1 foot wide,
and when you walk on it, you'll need to try hard to avoid falling off
because it's only 1 foot wide.

Help!!<br> With this question <br> Please
Sedbober [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The length is</u><u> 250 meters</u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

If we look at the left corner of the diagram we see a scale. According to the scale factor of the map

1 cm :1000 cm

The length of the lap on the map is 25 cm

So (25 × 1000) = 25000 cm

Since

1 meter = 100 centimeter

So the actual length of the lap = 25000 ÷ 100 = 250 meters

Use the net to compute the surface area of the three-dimensional figure.
Grace [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  382 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The central four rectangles down the middle of the net are 9 units wide, and alternate between 8 and 7 units high. Then the area of those four rectangles is ...

  9(8+7+8+7) = 270 . . . square units

The rectangles making up the two left and right "wings" of the net are 8 units high and 7 units wide, so have a total area of ...

  2×(8)(7) = 112 . . . square units

Then the area of the figure computed from the net is ...

  270 +112 = 382 . . . square units

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can reject the first two answer choices immediately, because they are odd. Each face will have an area that is the product of integers, so will be an integer. There are two faces of each size, so <em>the total area of this figure must be an even number</em>.

You may recognize that the dimensions are 8, 8+1, 8-1. Then the area is roughly that of a cube with dimensions of 8: 6×8² = 384. If you use these values (8, 8+1, 8-1) in the area formula, you find the area is actually 384-2 = 382. That area formula is A = 2(LW +H(L+W)).
