Your answer is J) 4.

We can find this by first finding the area of the old rug by multiplying 8 by 4, which gives us 32 ft².

Then we find the dimensions of the new rug by doubling 8 and 4, to give us 16 and 8, and we can then multiply these to find the area of the new rug which is 128.

Finally, we divide 128 by 32 to find the scale it was multiplied by, and we get 4.

I hope this helps!

Mrs. Bautista invested Php2700.00 part at 8% and the rest at 11% .How musch did she invest at each rate if her total annual inco

Margarita [4]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

She invested

Php2700.00 at 8 % and

Php 20,400.00 at 11 %

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question we note that

Simple interest is given by $\frac{P*R*T}{100}$ where

P= Principal, R = Rate and T = Time

If we call the first part P₁, T₁, and R₁ and the second part

P₂, T₂, and R₂

Then ${P_1*(1+R_1*T_1}) +{P_*(1+R_2*T_2}) = 2460.00$

= 2700×0.08×1 + P₂×0.11×1 = 2460 which gives

2244÷0.11 = P₂ or P₂ = Php 20,400.00

That is she invested

Php2700.00 at 8 % and

Php 20,400.00 at 11 %

Cole wants to buy carpet to cover his whole living room, except for the tiled floor. The tiled floor is 4 5 6 ft by 2 1 3 ft. Fi

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

$Area = 49\frac{25}{36}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tile

$Length = 4\frac{5}{6}$

$Width = 2\frac{1}{3}$

See attachment for dimension of the floor

Required

Determine the area covered by the carpet

From the attachment, the dimension of the floor is:

$Length = 12\frac{1}{4}$

$Width = 5$

Calculate Area

$Area = Length * Width$

$Area = 12\frac{1}{4} * 5$

$Area = 61\frac{1}{4}$

The area of the tiles is:

$Area = 4\frac{5}{6} * 2\frac{1}{3}$

$Area = \frac{29}{6} * \frac{7}{3}$

$Area = \frac{203}{18}$

$Area = 11\frac{5}{18}$

So, the carpet area is:

$Area = Floor\ Area - Tile\ Area$

$Area = 61\frac{1}{4} - 11\frac{5}{18}$

To improper number

$Area = \frac{245}{4} - \frac{208}{18}$

Take LCM

$Area = \frac{2205 - 416}{36}$

$Area = \frac{1789}{36}$

$Area = 49\frac{25}{36}$
