Marge cuts 16 pieces.

Each piece has a length of 3/8 inches

she needs to cut 16 pieces of 3/8 inches each

amount of tape needed - $\frac{16}{1}*\frac{3}{8}$

when mulitplying numbers with fractions, numerators should be multiplied by numerators and denominators by denominators

$\frac{16*3}{1*8} = \frac{48}{8} = 6$

amount of tape needed = 6 inches

16 x 3/8 so 16/1 x 3/8 = 48/8. 48 divided by 8 is 6. So 6 inches.

g A shopping center includes a grocery store and a drug store. One%E2%80%8B afternoon, a total of 200 people visited the shoppin

QveST [7]

Answer:

a) 179 people shopped at the grocery store or the drug store.

b) 21 people shopped at neither the grocery store nor the drug store

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to treat these events as Venn sets.

I am going to say that:

Set A: Shopped at the grocery store

Set B: Shoped at the drug store.

121 shopped at the grocery store:

This means that $A = 121$

91 shopped at the drug store:

This means that $B = 91$

33 shopped at both businesses.

This means that $A \cap B = 33$

a) How many people shopped at the grocery store or the drug store?

This is

$A \cup B = A + B - (A \cap B)$

With the values given in the exercise.

$A \cup B = A + B - (A \cap B) = 121 + 91 - 33 = 179$

179 people shopped at the grocery store or the drug store.

b) How many people shopped at neither the grocery store nor the drug store?

179 of 200 shopped in at least one. So 200 - 179 = 21 shopped at neither.

21 people shopped at neither the grocery store nor the drug store
