If 4 bags of corn can feed a herd of cows for 6 days, how many bags will feed the herd for 9 days ?

1 answer:

7 0

Well, if 6/4 equals 1.5 --

Then 1.5*5, (which is the next quantity of days before it hits 9) equals 7.5.

Hope this helps.

The question is incomplete. The map is attached as a photo and here is the complete question:

a. What is the actual distance between Saugerties and

Kingston? ___________________________

b. Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties. What would the

distance on the map be? ___________________________

c. On another map, the distance between Saugerties and

Kingston is 2 inches. What would the distance from Saugerties to

Catskill be on this map? __________________

Since you have asked the answer for part (c) only, here is the answer:

Answer:

The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be 3 inches on this map.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the given map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 4 inches and the scale is 1 inch = 2.5 miles.

To calculate the actual distance in miles between Saugerties and Kingston, consider the given scale:

1 inch ---------- 2.5 miles

4 inches ------ x miles

Cross multiplying:

1x = 2.5 x 4

x = 10 miles

The actual distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 10 miles.

On another map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 2 inches. Which means the scale is 2 inches = 10 miles. So 1 inch = 10/2 = 5 miles

The scale on the other map is 1 inch = 5 miles.

Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties (given in the previous part). So on the map:

1 inch -------- 5 miles

y inch ------- 15 miles

Cross multiplying:

15 = 5y

y = 15/5

y = 3 inches.

The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be 3 inches on this map.

A town is fencing a rectangular field that is 200 feet long and 150 feet wide. At $10 per foot, how much will it cost to fence t

labwork [276]

Perimeter of a rectangle is

2*width + 2*length

then multiply the perimeter by the cost per foot

2*(150ft) + 2*(200ft)

300ft + 400ft

700ft

700ft * $10/ft

$7000

Lupe’s Construction is building a rectangular house that is 16 feet longer than it is wide. They will be putting a 3-foot wide s

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The length of the four pieces of protective strip is 96 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the w be the width of the rectangular house and L is length. Since L = w + 16, its perimeter P = 2(w + L)

= 2(w + w + 16)

= 2(2w + 16)

Since the perimeter of the house P = 136 feet,

136 = 2(2w + 16)

dividing through by 2, we have

136/2 = (2w + 16)

68 = (2w + 16)

collecting like terms, we have

68 - 16 = 2w

52 = 2w

dividing through by 2, we have

w = 52/2

w = 26 feet.

Now, since the side walk is 3 foot wide all around, the width of the house plus sidewalk = w + 3 and the length of the house plus sidewalk = L + 3 = w + 16 + 3 = w + 19.

So, the perimeter of the house plus sidewalk which is the perimeter of the four pieces of protective strip is P' = 2(w + 3 + w + 19)

= 2(w + 22)

= 2(26 + 22)

= 2(48)

= 96 feet

So, the length of the four pieces of protective strip is 96 feet.
