Here is the complete question:

<em>A lumber yard has five different lengths of 2 by 4 boards. Based on cost per linear foot, which is the best deal available on 2 by 4 boards at this lumber yard?</em>

<em>2 × 4 BOARD PRICES </em>

<em>8 foot board for $2.95 </em>

<em>10 foot board for $3.15 </em>

<em>12 foot board for $4.10 </em>

<em>16 foot board for $5.80 </em>

<em>20 foot board for $6.95</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

8 foot board for $2.95

$\frac{2.95}{8}= 0.36875$

10 foot board for $3.15

$\:\frac{3.15}{10}=0.315$

12 foot board for $4.10

$\frac{4.1}{12}=0.341$

16 foot board for $5.80

$\frac{5.8}{16}= 0.3625$

20 foot board for $6.95

$\frac{6.95}{20}= 0.3475$

Therefore, <em>10 foot board for $3.15</em><em> </em>is the best deal available on 2 by 4 boards at this lumber yard. It means you should be able to get 1 board for $0.315 when you buy 10 boards.

Sajia has 30 Books in her library. she sold 9 books at the thrift store on Saturday. Write and solve and inequality to determine

ELEN [110]

Sajia can sell 21 books she can sell if she comes back on sunday and the required inequality is $9 + x \leq 30$

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Sajia has 30 Books in her library

She sold 9 books at the thrift store on Saturday

To find: We have to write and solve an inequality to determine number of more books she can sell if she comes back on sunday

Let "x" be the number of more books she can sell if she comes back on sunday

<em><u>We can write a inequality as:</u></em>

$\text{ books already sold } + \text{ number of books remaining } \leq \text{ total number of books she has }$

$9 + x \leq 30$

Now moving 9 from L.H.S to R.H.S we get,

$x \leq 30 - 9$

On solving 30 - 9 = 21,

$x \leq 21$

So Sajia can sell 21 books she can sell if she comes back on sunday

The ratio of the side lengths of a quadrilateral is 3:3:5:8, and the perimeter is 380cm. What is the measure of the longest side

MariettaO [177]

Answer: The second option (160 cm)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can obtain the perimeter of a quadrilateral by adding the lenghts of the sides.

2. You know that the ratio of the side lengths is 3:3:5:8 and the perimeter is 380 centimeters.

3. Therefore, you can write the following expression, where x is an integer:

$3x+3x+5x+8x=380$

4. Solve for x:

$3x+3x+5x+8x=380\\19x=380\\x=\frac{380}{19}\\x=20$

5. Therefore, the longest side is:

$8x=8*20=160$ (160 cm)

If a cone shaped vase can hold 45 cubic centimeter of water and has a radius of 2 centimeters what is the height of the vase use

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The height of the vase is $h=10.75\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cone is equal to

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2} h$

we have

$V=45\ cm^{3}$

$r=2\ cm$

$\pi =3.14$

substitute and solve for h

$45=\frac{1}{3}(3.14)(2)^{2} h$

$135=(3.14)(4)h$

$135=12.56h$

$h=135/12.56$

$h=10.75\ cm$
