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.

A motorcycle make 100 revelation in moving a distance of 220m find the diameter of the wheel​
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If it goes 220 meters and has made 100 revolutions that means that each revolution is 220 meters / 100 = 2.2 meters.

That's the same thing as saying that the wheel has a circumference of 2.2 meters.

Circumference = 2*pi * r = pi * d

2 = pi * d

2 = 3.14 * d

2/3.14 = d

d = 0.6369 meters

Frank was skiing down big bear mountain. He finished 22% of his skiing in the morning. Then he still had 23.4 miles left. How ma
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: 6.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he finished 22% of his skiing in the morning, that means he still has 78% (100% - 22%) of his skiing left.

The remaining 78% is equivalent to 23.4 miles. We need to know the total miles of the skiing. This will be:

78% of x = 23.4

0.78 × x = 23.4

0.78x = 23.4

x = 23.4 / 0.78

x = 30 miles

Since the total skiing is 30 miles and he has 23.4 miles left, the miles covered in the morning will be:

= 30 - 23.4

= 6.6 miles
