Answer:

  6 lengths

Step-by-step explanation:

You essentially want the smallest integer solution to ...

  60x ≥ 350

  x ≥ 350/60

  x ≥ 5 5/6

The smallest integer solution to this is x = 6.

The minimum number of lengths of hose needed is 6.

_____

Informally, you know that dividing the required total length by the length of one hose will tell you the number of required hoses. You also know the ratio 350/60 is equivalent to 35/6 and that this will be between 5 and 6. (5·6 = 30; 6·6 = 36) The next higher integer value will be 6.

2) All you have to do is dived 72÷6. Which gives you the amount of each pack .

3) You take the total of step number two and 288 earsers and dived. so 288÷12=24

variable : cost of 1 square foot flooring = x

equation :
60x + 80 = 287
60x = 287 - 80
x = (287-80) / 60

11)
variable : doughnut cost = d

equation :
3(1.25) + 6d = 6.90
3.75 + 6d = 6.90
6d = 6.90 - 3.75
d = (6.90 - 3.75) / 6

12)
variable : smaller number = x

equation :
x + x + 1 = -29
2x + 1 = -29
2x = -29 - 1
x = (-29 - 1) / 2

13)
variable : number of shrubs : n

eqution :
n(25) + 110 = 260
25n = 260 - 110
n = (260 - 110) / 25
