Answer:

2.1375 bottles of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

cardboard length = 14 1/4 ft, which is equivalent to (4*14 + 1)/4 = 57/4 ft

cardboard width = 6 ft

Rectangular cardboard area = length * width = 57/4 * 6 = (57*6)/4 = 342/4 ft²,  which can be simplified dividing numerator and denominator by 2: 171/2 ft²

If 1 bottle of paint covers an area of 40 square feet, then to paint 171/2 square feet the following proportion must be satisfied:

1  bottle of paint / 40 square feet = x bottles of paint / (171/2) square feet

x = (1/40) * (171/2) = (1*171)/(40*2) = 171/80 or (160 + 11)/80 = 160/80 + 11/80 = 2 11/80 or 2.1375 bottles of paint

Answer:

y = 3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to know what the slope intercept form is. y = mx + b. Now take two points from the table and put them in the equation  and get the slope of 3. Now we have y = 3x + b. To find b we need to plug in any point into the equation. I chose (-1, -1). -1 = 3(-1). Solve and you get 2. Now we are left with y = 3x + 2

KatRina [158]

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you are rounding to the hundreds, you look at the tens place. The tens place is a "1" and 1 is below five, so you round down to 200.
