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

a group raised $276 for its favorite charity. this is 23% of the amount it hopes to raise. how much money does the group want to
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer: The group wants to raise $1,200.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a proportion to solve.

part/whole = percent/100

If we insert the values:

276/x = 23/100

We can cross multiply.

276 x 100 = 27,600

27,600 / 23 = 1,200

$1,200 is the answer.

I need to write an even number between 7 and 16 draw a picture an them write a sentence to explain why it is an even number
serious [3.7K]
An even  number is a number that is divisible by 2.
This means that dividing this number by 2 yields no remainder (the remainder is zero).

The even numbers between 7 and 16 are:
8 as 8/2 = 4 and remainder is zero
10 as 10/2 = 5 and remainder is zero
12 as 12/2 = 6 and remainder is zero
14 as 14/2 = 7 and remainder is zero
