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

Simpify the expression.<br>5+4z-2z<br><br>Simpilfied expression ​
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

2z + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to combine like terms

subtract 4z - 2z and you get 2z

the number with the variable next to it goes first not the constant

2z + 5

the variable is z and the constant is 5 because it doesn't have variable next to it

hope this makes sense and helps :)

Find the simple interest earned to the nearest cent for each principal, interest rate, and time.
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Interest earned at 3.9 percent rate is $31.2

Interest earned at 2 percent rate is $5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P(1 + rt)

Where 'A' is the amount, 'r' is the rate and 't' is the time in years

When;

P = $1200

r = 3.9%

t = \frac{8}{12} years

Then,

A = $1200(1 + 0.039(\frac{8}{12}))

A = $1200 + $31.2 = $1231.2

Interest = Amount - Principal

Interest earned at 3.9 percent rate is $1231.2 - $1200 = $31.2

When;

P = $580

r = 2%

t = \frac{6}{12} years

Then,

A = $580(1 + 0.02(\frac{6}{12}))

A = $580 + $5.8 = $585.8

Interest earned = Amount - Principal

Interest earned at 2 percent rate = $585.8 - $580 = $5.8
