Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of square feet to gallons of paint:

$1440:6$

This can also be written as:

$\frac{1440}{6}$

This fraction can be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by 6:

$\frac{1440}{6}=\frac{240}{1}$

So, the ratio of square feet to gallons of paint is:

1 gallon for every 240 ft².

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The actual dimensions of the kitchen are $12\ ft$ by $14\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the scale of the drawing

To find the scale , remember that is equal to the ratio of the corresponding dimension in the drawing divided by the corresponding actual dimension

$\frac{0.8}{4}\frac{in}{ft}=0.2\frac{in}{ft}$

step 2

To find the actual dimensions of the kitchen, divide the dimension in the drawing by the scale

$2.4\ in=2.4/0.2=12\ ft$

$2.8\ in=2.8/0.2=14\ ft$

8. Misty created the number pattern below. 32, 28, 24, 20, ... If n represents a number in this pattern, which rule could be use

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

An = 32 - (4*(n-1))

Step-by-step explanation:

the starting term for this pattern is 32 (which you will need to include in the "rule")

you also know that the next term is the previous term - 4

so!

we can write this pattern as

An = 32 - (4*(n-1))

An = any number of term in the pattern

- ex). A2 = 28, A3 = 24, etc

n = the nth term

- the 3rd term = 24, the fourth term = 20, etc
