Let us assume that the number of pieces that can be cut = x
Length of each shelf board = 1 1/3 feet
                                   = 4/3 feet
Total length of board available for making shelf = 18 foot
Then
4x/3 = 18
4x = 18 * 3
4x = 54
x = 54/4
   = 13 2/4
As we can see from the above deduction, 13 shelf's can be made from the 18 foot board. There will be about 2/4th of the board remaining, but that 2/4th part will be wasted as it cannot create a complete board.I hope the answer is to your satisfaction and the explanation is clear to you.

A sculpture is shaped like a sphere with 4 cones attached to it. Several dimensions of the sculpture, in feet, are shown in the
suter [353]

volume of the center sphere = 4/3*PI*r^3

r = 3 ( given in the picture)

 so 4/3 * 3.14 *3^3 = 113.04 cubic feet

 volume of 1 cone: pi *r^2 *h/3

r = 3 and h=3 ( given in the picture)

so 3.14 * 3^2 * 3/3 = 28.26 cubic feet

 there are 4 cones so 28.26* 4 = 113.04 cubic feet


113.04 + 113.04 = 226.08 cubic feet

 rounded to nearest cubic foot = 226 cubic feet

How do i make 1\2x-y=4 into slope intercept form
kari74 [83]
Simple, since you want to find y, in y=mx+b form, move everything to the other side.

1/2x-y=4

Move 1/2x

1/2x-y=4
-1/2x     -1/2x

Making it look like,

-y=4-1/2x

Divide by the negative 1 in front of the y,

-y=4-1/2x
/-1    /-1

y=-4+1/2x

or 

y=1/2x-4

Thus, this written in y=mx+b form, y=1/2x-4.

i need help with math my question is i hope this question doesnt get deleted so my question is which of the following numbers is
DENIUS [597]
Any number that ends with 0 or 5 is divisible by 5. If it ends with any other numbers such as 1 2, 3, 4, ,6, 7, 8, 9 then it is not divisible by 5. If a number is divisible by it means that the number can be divided by 5.

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 1234567890, 9876543210, etc. are going to be divisible by 5 because they end or a 0.

So, look through your given options. Which answer choice has a 0 or a 5 at the end of the number? That's your answer. :)

Hope that helped. (:
