A 9-foot piece of wood is cut into shelves. If each is 3/7 foot in length, how many shelves are there?

Hello!

To find how much shelves we cut, we need to divide 9 feet by 3/7 feet. When dividing by fractions, it is like multiplying its reciprocal.

This means that the reciprocal of 3/7 is 7/3.

9 / \frac{3}{7} = \frac{9}{1} * \frac{7}{3} = \frac{63}{3} = 21

Therefore, if each shelf is 3/7 feet in length, then there are 21 shelves.

jekas [21]
For this case, the first thing you should know is:
 d: v * t
 Where,
 d: distance
 v: speed
 t: time
 To go to school by bus we have:
 d = 45 * t
 To return from school we have:
 d = 2.5 * (1-t)
 how the distance is the same:45 * t = 2.5 * (1-t)
 Answer:
 the equation that will help find the time it takes chelsea to get to school on the bus is:
 45 * t = 2.5 * (1-t)
 Note: the equation will have one solution.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The total price is $5720

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given statement a bedroom set lists for $7,000 and carries a trade discount of 20 percent. Freight (FOB shipping point) of $120 is not of the list price.

A bedroom lists for = $7000

Discount = 20% = 0.2

Now multiply 7000 by 0.2 = 7000* 0.2 = 1400

It means the discount value was $1400

Now subtract 1400 from 7000 = 7000 - 1400 = $5600

Now to get the total price add 5600 with 120 we get,

$5600+120 = $5720

Thus the total price is $5720 .....

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

First Picture: 2032*93 = 188976, 425/25 = 17

Second Picture: the machine is dividing the number by 6

Third picture: 85

Step-by-step explanation:

Second Picture: 36/6 = 6 and 54/9 = 6 therefore the machine is dividing by six

Third Picture: a multiple of 7 is 84 (7*12 = 84). 85 is one more than a multiple of 7. Therefore 85 is the answer. A formula can be 7x + 1 = (then try out different numbers in the grid)

7x+1 = 85

7x = 84

x = 84/7

x = 12

Therefore 85 is one more than a multiple of 7.
