Answer:

Option C is correct.

Number of gallons of paint Ritchie needs to buy;  8^2(4+1) \div 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity as 1 such as 8 miles per hour or 5 meter per second.

As per the statement: Ritchie wants to paint his bedroom ceiling and four walls. Both the ceiling and walls are 8 by 8 feet.  

Area of four wall = 4 \cdot \text{Area of each wall} = 4 \cdot (8 \times 8) = 4 \cdot (8^2) square feet

also;

Area of ceiling = 8 \times 8 = 8^2 square feet

Total area of ceiling and four walls = 4 \cdot 8^2 + 8^2 = 8^2(4+1) square feet.  {Using distributive property a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c }

Also, it is given a gallon of paint cover 40 square feet.

⇒Unit rate per area = \frac{1}{40} gallon of paint

We have to find the number number of gallons of paint.

\text{Number of gallons of paint} =\text{Unit rate per area} \times \text{Total number of area of both ceiling and four walls}

Substitute the given values we get;

\text{Number of gallons of paint}=\frac{1}{40} \times \{8^2 (4+1)\}

Inverse of Multiplication operation is Division.

Therefore, number of gallons of paint Ritchie need to buy is, 8^2(4+1) \div 40

In quadrilateral ABDC, AB ∥ CD. Which additional piece of information is needed to determine that ABDC is a parallelogram?
N76 [4]
Since the definition of a parallelogram literally says that it's a quadrilateral with 2 parallel sides, we have AB || CD so the 2 other sides (AC and BD) need to be either similar or parallel (either works, due to that if they're similar we can prove that since AB || CD that they're parallel). B is our answer
