The Huey family is purchasing a winter cover for their above ground pool, which is rectangular and has dimensions of 18 feet by

9 feet. They want the cover to overlap the pool by 15 inches on all sides. How many square feet will the winter cover be?
227.81 square feet
197.31 square feet
235.75 square feet
162 square feet

i can probably figure this out but i've been really lazy lately.. hahaha

Answer:

The correct option is B. 197.31 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the rectangular field = 18 feet

Width of the rectangular field = 9 feet

Now, They want the cover to overlap the pool by 15 inches on all sides

15 inches = 1.25 feet

So, Length of the rectangular field = 19.25 feet

Width of the rectangular field = 10.25 feet

Area of the rectangle is given by the formula :

Area = Length × Width

So, Area of the rectangular field = 19.25 × 10.25

⇒ Area of the winter cover = 197.31 square feet

Therefore, The correct option is B. 197.31 square feet

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Part 1) $-1.25$ -------> $2.75/(-2.2)$

Part 2) $-4\frac{1}{3}$ --------> $(-2\frac{3}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})$

Part 3) $\frac{2}{3}$ ------> $(-\frac{10}{17}) / (-\frac{15}{17})$

Part 4) $3$ ------> $(2\frac{1}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we have

$2.75/(-2.2)$

To calculate the division problem convert the decimal number to fraction number

$2.75=275/100\\ -2.2=-22/10$

so

$(275/100)/(-22/10)$

Remember that

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

$(275/100)/(-22/10)=(275/100)*(-10/22)=-(275*10)/(22*100)=-(275)/(220)$

Simplify

Divide by 22 both numerator and denominator

$-(275)/(220)=-125/100=-1.25$

Part 2) we have

$(-2\frac{3}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})$

To calculate the division problem convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

$(-2\frac{3}{5})=-\frac{2*5+3}{5}=-\frac{13}{5}$

so

$(-\frac{13}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})$

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

$(-\frac{13}{5}) / (\frac{3}{5})=(-\frac{13}{5})*(\frac{5}{3})=-\frac{13*5}{5*3}=-\frac{13}{3}$

Convert to mixed number

$-\frac{13}{3}=-(\frac{12}{3}+\frac{1}{3})=-4\frac{1}{3}$

Part 3) we have

$(-\frac{10}{17}) / (-\frac{15}{17})$

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

$(-\frac{10}{17}) / (-\frac{15}{17})=(-\frac{10}{17})*(-\frac{17}{15})=\frac{10*17}{17*15}=\frac{10}{15}$

Simplify

Divide by 5 both numerator and denominator

$\frac{10}{15}=\frac{2}{3}$

Part 4) we have

$(2\frac{1}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})$

To calculate the division problem convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

$(2\frac{1}{4})=\frac{2*4+1}{4}=\frac{9}{4}$

so

$(\frac{9}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})$

Since division is the opposite of multiplication, you can turn this division problem into a multiplication problem by multiplying the top fraction by the reciprocal of the bottom fraction

$(\frac{9}{4}) / (\frac{3}{4})=(\frac{9}{4})*(\frac{4}{3})=\frac{9*4}{4*3}=\frac{9}{3}=3$

last year, 639 students attended a summer camp. of those who attended this year, 0.5% also attended summer camp last year. about

lawyer [7]

Answer:

First of all, he have to find out what 0.5% of the students is.

Second of all, find out what 0.5 of 100 is. 100 divided by 0.5 is 200.

Third of all, divide 200 from 639. This equals 3.195

Since it is asking about how many, I would go with about 3. After all, you can't have have half of a person, so the decimals shouldn't be added.

I need help plz ???

jasenka [17]

Answer: M=-2 , B= 2 , Equation: Y= -2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

M is the slope. Slope is "rise / run", so 2 over -1. simplified, that is -2. B is the y-intercept, or where the graph crosses the y-axis. So, b will be 2.
