------------------------------------------------------
Define x :
------------------------------------------------------
Let the width be x.

------------------------------------------------------
Find Area of the walkway :
------------------------------------------------------
Area = 30x + 30x + 20x + 20x + 4x²       
Area = 100x + 4x²

------------------------------------------------------
Find cost of the walkway in term of x:
------------------------------------------------------
1m² = $10
100x + 4x² = 10(4x² + 100x)
(100x + 4x²)m = $(40x² + 1000x)

------------------------------------------------------
Find Width of the walkway :
------------------------------------------------------
The budget is $6000

40x² + 1000x = 6000
40x² + 1000x - 6000 = 0
x² + 25x -150 = 0              //Divide by 40 through
(x - 5)(x + 30) = 0             //Factorise
x = 5 or x = -30 (Rejected, width cannot be negative)

------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The width can be 5m wide.

Allen is building birdhouses that require 1/2-foot-long boards. How many pieces that are exactly 1/2 ft long can be made from a
Ymorist [56]
Hello!

Since you have a board that is 8 and 1/4 feet long, the easy way to calculate how many 1/2 feet are on 8 feet is two multiply 8 x 2, since there are two halves of a foot, in one foot (because two halves equal one whole). Now this may sound confusing but we can double check.
   _________
   |       |          As we can see here, there are two rows, each with 8 halves.
  V      V          So now we multiply 8 x 2 and get 16.
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1      
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
                  ^-- Now if you add all of these, it's 8, proving that you can do 8 x 2

Yes, you may be asking, "What about the 1/4?" Don't worry about it! Questions like this try to trick you into making it more complicated, it asks how many halves are in 8 and 1/4, but 1/4 isn't enough to make a half so we leave it alone.

Chloe wants to wrap a present in a box for sarah. The top and bottom of the box is 8in by 3in, the sides are both 3in by 2in and
timama [110]

Answer:

92 sq. inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Total paper required = total surface area

Surface area of a cuboid = 2[(l×b) + (l×h) + (b×h)],

Where 'l' is the length, 'b' is the breadth and 'h' is the height

For the box, total surface area = 2[(8×3) + (3×2) + (8×2)]

=2[24 + 6 + 16]

=2[46]

= 92 sq. inches

Given the following information, write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form. Slope = -8 and y-intercept = 4
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

y = -8x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the y = mx +b for the slope intercept form, the m stands for the slope and the b stands for the y-intercept.

In this case, the slope is -8 and the y-int is 4 so we naturally plug those in

Which experiment describes a binomial experiment?
Jobisdone [24]
You have 4 options:
4 cards: because you draw cards and don't replace them your chance p changes on every trial, so it can't be a binomial experiment
roll 2 dice until...: a binomial experiment must have a consistent amount of trials, by doing an action until some condition is fulfilled violates this as the amount of trials or throws in this case is random
ask 9 people: there are three options, binomial experiments can only have 2

the only option left is the spinner, which is a binomial experiment
