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

1 answer:

6 0

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.

The answer is -5 m. Sea level is 0. Add 14 to 0 and, then take 19 away from 14. Boom! You've got your answer.

Hope that helps! :D

4 hours for 18

7 hours for 25.50

Difference in hours: 7-4 = 3

Difference in cost: 25.50 - 18 = 7.50

7.50 / 3 = 2.50

A. They charge 2.50 per hour.

B. 2.50 x 4 = 10

18 - 10 = 8

The flat fee is 8 dollars

C. 8 + (2 x 2.50) = 13 dollars
