A 9-foot piece of wood is cut into shelves. If each is 3/7 foot in length, how many shelves are there?
Aloiza [94]

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.

Solve this linear equation for p:
lukranit [14]

Answer:

2.6(5.5p - 12.4) = 127.92

• Distributive property

14.3p - 32.24 = 127.92

• Addition property of equality

14.3p = 127.92 + 32.24 \\ 14.3p = 160.16

• Division property of equality

\frac{14.3p}{14.3}  =  \frac{160.16}{14.3}  \\   \\ p =  \frac{160.16}{14.3}

• Solution:

{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf{ \:  \: p = 11.2 \:  \: }}}}
