You are preparing to tile the floor of a rectangular room that is 15.5 feet by 18 feet in size. The tiles you plan to use are sq

uares, measure 12 inches on each side, and are sold in boxes that contain enough tiles to cover 25 square feet.
To calculate the number of boxes you need to complete the job you multiply 15.5 by 18 and then divide by 144 to determine that you need just under 2 boxes. Is this correct?
A) Yes.
B) No, you need to multiply 18 by 2, then divide by 15.5 to determine the number of boxes.
C) No, after multiplying 15.5 by 18 you need to divide by 25 to determine the number of boxes.
D) No, after multiplying and dividing you need to multiply by 25 to determine the number of boxes.

Answer:

C) No, after multiplying 15.5 by 18 you need to divide by 25 to determine the number of boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the rectangular room are 15.5 feet x 18 feet.  Which is a total area of:  15.5 x 18 = 279 ft².

The tiles being used are 12 inches x 12 inches or 1 foot x 1 foot.  Since there are 25 tiles in each box, it can cover an area of 25 ft ².  

When doing calculations with measurements, the measurements must be the same.  For instance, you can not divide square feet by inches because they are different measurements.  However, you can divide by square feet.  To the total square footage of the room (279 ft²) can be divided by the amount of square feet covered by each box (25 ft²):  279/25 = 11.16 or a minimum of 12 boxes would be needed.

Find the ratio created when AB is partitioned by C.
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Segment AB has been divided into four equal parts.

Let each part measures equal length = 1 unit

Point C is 2 units apart from both the points A and B.

Length of AC = Length of BC = 2 units

Therefore, point C will be the mid point of segment AB.

And ratio of AC and BC = 1:1

AC:BC = 1:1

Similarly, AC:AB = 2:4

                           = 1:2

And BC:AB = 2:4

                   = 1:2

At a rental car company, a customers daily rental charge D (in dollars) for m miles driven is determined by the function D = 35
lianna [129]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given function:</u>

  • D = 35 + 0.4m

m represents the domain and D represents the range of the function, therefore m = x, D = y

<u>Filling in the table:</u>

  • for x = 10, y = 35 + 0.4*10 = 35 + 4 = 39 and so on for the rest of the values
  • x = 10, 30, 50, 75, 100
  • y = 39, 47, 55, 65, 75

A recent survey concluded that the proportion of american teenagers who have a cell phone is 0.27. the true population proportio
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The mean for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is 0.29

The standard deviation for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is 0.01435

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is always equal to the true population proportion, in this case; p = 0.29

The standard deviation for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is calculated as;

\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }

Using the given values;

p = 0.29

1 - p = 0.71

n = 1000

The standard deviation becomes;

\sqrt{\frac{(0.29)(1-0.29)}{1000} } \\

The s.d becomes 0.01435
