Let's find how many inches each piece of cable will be, by finding how many feet are in 8 yards, then finding how many inches are in that many feet. 

Since there are 3 feet in a yard, 3 x 8 = 24. There are 24 feet in 8 yards.

Since there are 12 inches in a foot, 12 x 24 = 288. There are 288 inches in 24 feet. 

Now let's find how long each cable will be. 288/9 = 32. 

Each piece of cable will be 32 inches long. 

Hope this helped! If you have anymore questions or don't understand, please comment or DM me. :)

Let n (AUB)=32n(B)=16and n(ANB)9 find n (A)​
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

n(A∪B)=n(A)+n(B)−n(A∩B)−−−−−−−(1)

Given n(A)= ? we represent with x

n(B)= 16

n(A∪B) = 32

Substituting in equation 1 to get n(A)

32  = n(A) + 9 − 9

⇒n(A) = 32 − 0

n(A)  = 32

to confirm this we put the values into the formula below

n(A∪B)=n(A)+n(B)−n(A∩B)−−−−−−−(1)

32 =  32 + 9 - 9

Yesterday the Bandits scored 56 points in their basketball game. Today they scored 42 points. What is the percent decrease of Th
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

x = 25% percent decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we will use percentage calculation and make proportion:

Initial value 56 points is worth 100%

Second value 56 - 42 = 14 points of decrease is worth x%

56 : 14 = 100 : x

When we multiply external and internal members we get:

56 · x = 14 · 100 => x = 1400/56 = 25%

x = 25% percent decrease

God with you!!!

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 605 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Friday. There were 55 more cheeseburgers sol
Zinaida [17]
H + c = 605
c = h + 55

h + h + 55 = 605
2h + 55 = 605
2h = 605 - 55
2h = 550
h = 550/2
h = 275 <== there were 275 hamburgers sold on Friday

c = h + 55
c = 275 + 55
C = 330...there were 330 cheeseburgers sold on Friday
