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

Will is asked to simplify the expression below. 7x - 2(x + 3y) + 3y He states that the simplified expression is 5x + 9y because
galina1969 [7]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 2(x + 3y) + 3y

= 7x - 2x - 6y + 3y

= 5x - 3y

Will got 5x + 9y because he didn't multiply the values in the bracket by the minus sign outside the bracket. He multiplied the values by +2 rather than -2. This resulted in the wrong answer that he got.
