38b + 61t = 791.50....multiply by 27
54b + 50t = 923.....multiply by -19
-------------------
1026b + 1647t = 21370.5 (result of multiplying by 27)
-1026b - 950t = - 17537 (result of multiplying by -19)
------------------add
697t = 3833.50
t = 3833.50 / 697
t = 5.50 <=== cost of each towel

38b + 61t = 791.50
38b + 61(5.50) = 791.50
38b + 335.50 = 791.50
38b = 791.50 - 335.50
38b = 456
b = 456/38
b = 12 <== cost of each bed sheet

so the cost of 1 towel and 1 bed sheet is : 12 + 5.50 = 17.50

Draw 8 lines that are between 1 inch and 3 inches long. Measure each line to the nearest fourth inch, and make a line plot.
IRISSAK [1]

The length of the line is the difference between the endpoints of the line

The length of each line to the nearest fourth inch is 0.25 inch

<h3>How to measure the length of each line</h3>

The length of the horizontal line is given as:

Length = 2 inches

This is calculated as:

Length = 3 inches - 1 inch

Length = 2 inches

8 lines are to be drawn between the 1 inch and 3 inches point.

So, the length (l) of each line is:

l = \frac{2\ inches}{8}

Simplify the fraction

l = \frac{1\ inches}{4}

Divide

l = 0.25\ inch

Hence, the length of each line to the nearest fourth inch is 0.25 inch

Give one combination of two factors whose product is 0.24, if one of the factors is a whole number greater than 1.
Nutka1998 [239]
0.24 is an even number....so 2 will be a factor

2x = 0.24
x = 0.24 / 2
x = 0.12

so 2 factors would be 2 and 0.12.....because 2 * 0.12 = 0.24
