Answer:

We know that:

Over a half-mile stretch of road, there are 7 evenly spaced street signs.

If we assume that there is a sign right at the beginning and another right at the end, then the distance between each sign will be equal to the total distance divided by the total number of signs minus one because the distance is measured in pairs of consecutive signs, if we have 7 signs, then we will have 6 pairs of consecutive ones ( 1st and 2nd, 2nd and 3rd, 3rd and 4th, ...)

(0.5mi)/6 = 0.83... mi

So, rounding to the second decimal after the decimal point, the distance between each sign is 0.83 miles.

Volgvan

Answer:

$467.77

Step-by-step explanation:

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION

Lin is shopping for a couch with her dad and heard him ask the salesperson “how much is your commission?” The salesperson says that her commission is 5 1/2% of the selling price. A.How much commission will the salesperson earn by selling a couch for $495?

B.How much money will the store get from the sale of the couch?

From the question, the commission of the salesperson is 5 1/2 % , we can convert to improper fraction as 11/5%, then we can convert to decimal by dividing the numerator by denominator which is 5.5% , we can convert from percentage by saying(5.5%/100)

= 0.055

A)How much commission will the salesperson earn by selling a couch for $495?

His Commission will be

(0.055 x $495 )

= $27.23

B.How much money will the store get from the sale of the couch?

Since we know this Commission as $27.23, then the amount the store get from sale will be

(difference between the commission and the selling price)

($495.00- $27.23)

= $467.77
