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

Determine if each function is linear or nonlinear. Drag each function into a box to correctly classify it. linear nonlinear y=6x
Lady bird [3.3K]
The linear functions are:
y = 6x - 2
x + y = 12
y = x

The non-linear functions are:
y = 3x³ + 5
y = x² - 33

Explanation:
Linear functions can be written in the form y = mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.  In linear functions, the x variable has at highest an exponent of 1.

The first equation, y = 6x - 2, is in slope-intercept form; it is linear.
The second equation, y = 3x³ + 5, has an x with an exponent greater than 1; it is non-linear.
The third equation, y = x² - 33, has an x with an exponent greater than 1; it is non-linear.
The fourth equation, x + y = 12, can be written as y=mx+b:
x+y=12
Subtract x from both sides:
x+y-x=12-x
y = -x+12

This is a <span><u><em>linear </em></u></span>function.

The <u>fifth </u>equation, y = x, is in the form y=mx+b; in this case, m=1 and b=0.  This is <u><em>linear</em></u>.

Miguel has 48 coins.of the 48 coins 5/8 are dimes.how many of the coins are dimes
Ivahew [28]
A simple way you could solve this is by drawing a tape graph.
Draw a long rectangular box.
Cut the box into 8 pieces, seeing as how 5/8 of the coins are dimes.
We have to take 48 and divide it by 8, we get 6, so now we know how many dimes are evenly split into each piece.
Now color in 5 pieces of the tape.
This represents the 5 in 5/8.
Now to find the number of coins, simply multiply 5 by 6, you get the answer of 30.
I hope this helps, if you are confused with any part of my explanation, ask and I will clarify.

nexus9112 [7]
Let P stand for the Paint crew...and you know that 75% of that crew = 105 people. So we know that...
P x .75 = 105
Divide both sides of the equation by .75 to solve for P...
P = 105/.75 = 140
So the total paint crew has 140 painters.
