Answer:28inches & 84inches

First, lets write an equation that fits the data given. The string is 112 inches long. When the two pieces are cut, the first piece will be three times as long as the second piece. If we use the variable, x, to represent the second piece, we can create the following equation...

112=3x+x

Now lets solve for x.

112=4x
divide both sides by 4
28 inches=x

Now we know that the second piece is 28inches long. Since the first piece is three times as long, simply multiply 28*3 and we'll know the length of the first piece.

28*3=84 inches
28+84=112

Jean's bedroom is 11 feet by 14 feet. She has chosen a carpet which costs $33.30 per square yard. This includes installation.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The room will cost $569.80 to carpet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that 1 square yard = 9 square feet.

The area of the bedroom, in square feet, is (11 ft)(14 ft) = 154 ft^2.

Converting this to square yards:

154 ft^2      1 yd^2

------------ * ------------ = 17.1 yd^2

       1          9 ft^2

17.1 yd^2     $33.30

------------- * ------------- = $569.80

       1            1 yd^2

The room will cost $569.80 to carpet.
