Mr. Gengel wants to make a shelf with boards that are 1 1/3 feet long. If he has an 18 foot board, how many pieces can he cut fr
In-s [12.5K]
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.

12.5% of a number is 25, find the number
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number x :
12.5% of x = 25

Changing 12.5% into decimal would be 0.125

Now we have the equation :

0.125x = 25

Divide both sides by 0.125 to make x the subject :

x = 25 ÷ 0.125

x = 200

To check we can substitute this value into the question :

12.5% of 200 = 25

Hope this helped and have a good day
