Answer:
So the sqrt(46) is between 6 and 7
Step-by-step explanation:
sqrt(46)
5*5 = 25
6*6=36
7*7=49
So the sqrt(46) is between 6 and 7
Using the midpoint formula we get:
(x,y)=(0+5/2, 0+12/2) or (5/2, 6) as the midpoint.
STEP 1:
Divide the length of the ribbon by the size of the pieces.
12 inches= 1 foot
= 9 ft ÷ 15 inch pieces
convert ft to inches
= (12)(9) ÷ 15
= 108 ÷ 15
= 7.2 pieces from one roll
STEP 2:
multiply the number of pieces that can be cut from one roll by the number of rolls
= 7.2 pieces * 5 rolls
= 36 pieces total from 5 rolls
ANSWER: The greatest number of 15-inch pieces that can be cut from five 9-foot rolls is 36.
Hope this helps! :)
