Answer: 6 ft ^  2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a piece of carpet is 8 feet wide and 12 feet long. The carpet needs to be reduced by a scale factor so that the reduced carpet is 2 feet wide.

First of all, let us find the scale factor by which the width of the carpet has been reduced.

<em>Original width of carpet x scale factor = 12</em>

<em>Dividing both sides by 8 feet we will get:</em>

<u><em>8 feet x Scale factor/8 ft = 2/8 ft</em></u>

<em>Scale Factor = 1/4 </em>

<em>Let us find the length of carpet after reduced by a scale factor of 1/4. </em>

Length of the carpet after reducing a factor of 1/4=12 ft x 1/4

Length of the carpet after reducing a factor of 1/4=3 ft.

Now we will multiply the reduced length and width of the carpet to find the area of reduced carpet.

Area of reduced carpet = 2 ft x 3 ft

Area of reduced carpet = 6 ft

Therefore, the area of reduced carpet is 6 square feet.

Dan earns £9.30 per hour. How much will he earn for 9 hours work?
Dimas [21]

Answer: £83.70

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a ratio.

Let x be the amount he earns for 9 hours of work.

\frac{9.30 pounds}{1 hour} = \frac{x pounds}{9 hours}

We can cross multiply:

x = 9*9.3

x = £83.70

(6x+2)^2=36x^2+Bx+4 How Would You Answer That. I'm Not That Good At Algebra.
Verizon [17]

Let's multiply out the equation 6x+2 times 6x+2 using the square. Draw a 2 by 2 bow and put the equation across the bottom and verically. Multiply across to get this. 6x times 6x =36x^2 6x times two =12x do it again and get 12x. 2*2=4. That means x would equal 24.
