A. The number of 10-boards Peter bought is equal to n divided by 10. Then, each of the 10-boxes will get two boxes of nails. The number of boxes of nails that Peter will have after buying n boards will be,

    N = (2)(n/10)

Simplifying,

<em>   N = n/5</em>

b. If the number of boards are 90 then,

     N2 = (90/10)(2)(100 nails/box)
     N2 = 1800

Answer: 1800

The exact answer is:

The algebraic expression n/10, where n is the number of boards, represents the number of times he gets 2 free boxes of nails. So 2(n/10), or n/5, is the number of boxes, and 100(n/5), or 20n, is the number of nails. Substituting 90 in for n,

What is a common denominator of 1/2 and 1/4
attashe74 [19]
<span>If you're trying to rewrite 1/2 and 1/4 in terms of the same common denominator, all you have to do is multiply the top and bottom of 1/2 by 4 (which is the denominator of 1/4) and the top and bottom of 1/4 by 2 (which is the denominator of 1/2) to find that 1/2 = (1 x 4) / (2 x 4) = 4/8 and 1/6 = (1 x 2) / (4 x 2) = 2/8.</span>
