Total length of the kitchen wall = 24 2/3 feet.

Let us convert 24 2/3 feet into improper fracion.

24 2/3 = (24*3+2)/3 = 74/3 feet.

Length of each strip = 1 3/4 feet.

Let us convert 1/3/4 feet in improper fracion.

1 3/4 feet = (1*4+3)/4 = 7/4 feet.

Total number of strips required = (Total length of the kitchen wall) ÷ (Length of each strip)

= 74/3 feet ÷ 7/4 feet.

Let us convert division sign into multiplication, we get

74/3 × 4/7.

Multiplying across, we get

296/21.

On dividing 296 by 21, we get 14.09 approximately.

14.09 represents more than 14.

So, we can round it to the next whole number, that is 15.

Therefore, 15 strips of border are needed.

Why numbers are written as powers?
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

Large numbers like 100 billion are cumbersome to write out in ordinary form (100,000,000,000) and so scientists use a shorthand notation called powers of ten. ... The exponent tells you how many times ten is to be multiplied by iteslf to equal the number you wish to write. For example, 100 can be written as 10x10 = 102.

Hope this helps!

The pertinent formula for the circumference of a circle with diameter d is

C =pi*d.

Thus, if the dia. is 6 inches, the circumf. is C = 6pi inches.  Alternatively, if we let pi = 3.14, the circumf. is   C = 6*3.14   (answer A).
