For this case we have that by definition:

1 foot equals 12 inches

Then, the sections measure:

1ft ------------> 12in

4ft ------------> x

Where "x" represents the inches of each section.

x = \frac {4 * 12} {1}\\x = 48

Thus, each section measures 48 inches.

If the pieces of wire to be removed must be 5 inches each, then from a section they are removed:

\frac {48} {5} = 9.6

Now, from each section you can remove 6 pieces of wire.

Then, from 6 sections, it takes 6 * 6 = 36 pieces of wire.

Answer:

36

A store is having a sale on chocolate chips and walnuts. For 3 pounds of chocolate chips and 5 pounds of walnuts, the total cost
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3c + 5w = 16

6c + 2w = 22

-6c - 10w = -32

6c  + 2w = 22

-8w = -10

w = 10/8 = 5/4 = $1.25 per lb

3c + 5(1.25) = 16

3c + 6.25 = 16

3c = 9.75

c = $3.25 per lb

John joined a gym for 6 months. He pays 20$ per month plus a membership fee. If his bill is 150$, what was the membership fee?
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If he's been at the gym for 6 months, and he is charged $20 each month, then he has paid $120 dollars, not counting his membership fee. His total bill is $150.

150-120= $30

His membership fee was $30.

Hope this helps!
