Murljashka [212]

Answer: 6 ft ^ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a piece of carpet is 8 feet wide and 12 feet long. The carpet needs to be reduced by a scale factor so that the reduced carpet is 2 feet wide.

First of all, let us find the scale factor by which the width of the carpet has been reduced.

Original width of carpet x scale factor = 12

Dividing both sides by 8 feet we will get:

8 feet x Scale factor/8 ft = 2/8 ft

Scale Factor = 1/4

Let us find the length of carpet after reduced by a scale factor of 1/4.

Length of the carpet after reducing a factor of 1/4=12 ft x 1/4

Length of the carpet after reducing a factor of 1/4=3 ft.

Now we will multiply the reduced length and width of the carpet to find the area of reduced carpet.

Area of reduced carpet = 2 ft x 3 ft

Area of reduced carpet = 6 ft

Therefore, the area of reduced carpet is 6 square feet.

The table shows the average weight of animals. How many more tons does a blue whale weigh than an African elephant? Explain how

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The African elephant weighs 111.5 tons less than a blue whale.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Animal Weight(pounds)

African Elephant 15,000

Blue Whale 238,000

Now, to find the weight of how more tons does a blue whale weigh than an African elephant.

As given, 1 ton = 2,000 pounds.

So, to convert the weight from pound to tons by dividing:

African elephant $=15000\div 2000=7.5\ tons.$

Blue whale $=238000\div 2000=119\ tons.$

Now, to get the weight of how more tons is blue whale weigh than an African elephant we subtract:

$Blue\ whale - African\ elephant$

$=119 tons-7.5tons$

$=111.5\ tons$

Therefore, the African elephant weighs 111.5 tons less than a blue whale.
