Answer:
The new carpet will cost $1279.13 to the nearest cent
Step-by-step explanation:
The given is:
1. Sarah used a scale of inch = 3 feet
2. On the drawing, a rectangular room measures inches
by inches
3. Sarah wants to purchase new carpet for the room that costs $3.79
per square foot
We need to find much the new carpet will cost
∵ The scale is 0.5 inch = 3 feet
∵ The dimensions of the room on the drawing are inches and
inches
∵ = 2.5
∵ = 3.75
Use the ratio method
→ inches : feet
→ 0.5 : 3
→ 2.5 : x
→ 3.75 : y
- By using cross multiplication
∴ 0.5 x = 2.5 × 3
∴ 0.5 x = 7.5
- Divide both sides by 0.5
∴ x = 15 feet
∴ 0.5 y = 3.75 × 3
∴ 0.5 y = 11.25
- Divide both sides by 0.5
∴ y = 22.5 feet
∴ The actual dimensions of the room are 15 feet and 22.5 feet
Now lets find the area of the room which is the area of the carpet
∵ Area of the carpet = 15 × 22.5
∴ Area of the carpet = 337.5 feet²
∵ The cost of the carpet is $3.79 per square feet
∴ The cost of the carpet = 3.79 × 337.5 = 1278.125
∴ The cost of the carpet = $1279.13 to the nearest cent
The new carpet will cost $1279.13 to the nearest cent

Answer:
Let x represents the week and y represents the seashells
As per the statement:
Dora has 10 seashells and plans to add 2 shells every week.
"2 shells every week" means 2x
⇒y = 10 + 2x
It is also given, Jerri has 4 seashells and plans to add 5 shells every week.
"5 shells every week" means 2x
⇒ y = 4 + 5x
The system of equation would be used:
y = 10 + 2x
y = 4 + 5x
Since, the girls have the same number of seashells
⇒
Subtract 4 from both sides we get;
Subtract 2x from both sides we get;
Divide by 3 both sides we have;
x = 2 weeks.
Therefore, the number of weeks would it be before the girls have the same number if seashells is, 2 weeks.
