Mr. Thompson has been asked to partition some space in a garage for storage. He estimates 6 square feet per individual will be r
equired to meet the needs of 15 people. If the storage space takes up 5% of the garage, what is the size of the garage?
2 answers:
The garage is 1800 sq feet.
Answer:
1800 sq ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount of space in the garage.
We know that he is estimating 6 sq ft per person, for 15 people; this gives us
6(15) = 90 sq ft.
This is 5% of the total, x; 5% = 5/100 = 0.05; this gives us 0.05x.
Together these give us the equation
0.05x = 90
Divide both sides by 0.05:
0.05x/0.05 = 90/0.05
x = 1800

Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 2.5 by 10 to find how much is in one of Sarah’s dishes.
This gives you 0.25
Divide 1.6 by 8 to find how much is in one of Amy's dishes.
This gives you 0.2
Now minus 0.2 from 0.25.
This gives you a 0.05 cup

Y=4x. y=mx+b m=slope b=y intercept m=4 because it goes up 4 over 1 and 4/1=4 b=0 because it started at 0, making the equation y=4x+0 or just y=4x
