<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>
The number of sections that the line is divided is 4
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given that, Serena uses chalk to draw a straight line on the sidewalk
The line is 1/2 ft long. She wants to divide the line into sections that are each 1/8 ft long
From given,
To find: Number of sections can be made
The number of sections that can be made is found by dividing the total length of line by length of each section
Substituting the values, we get,
Thus number of sections that the line is divided is 4
Answer: Width = 24 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let W represent the width of the rectangular sign.
The length of a rectangular sign is 6 inches more than half its width. It means that the length of the rectangular sign would be
W/2 + 6
The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as
Area = length × width
The area of the sign is 432 square inches. Therefore, the equation for the area of this sign would be
W(W/2 + 6) = 432
W²/2 + 6W = 432
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2, it becomes
W² + 12W = 864
W² + 12W - 864 = 0
W² + 36W - 24W - 864 = 0
W(W + 36) - 24(W + 36) = 0
W - 24 = 0 or W + 36 = 0
W = 24 or W = - 36
Since W cannot be negative, then
W = 24

Answer:
$47.92
Step-by-step explanation:
20% discount: $599 * 80% = $479.2 before tax
15% tax added: $479.2 + $71.88 = $551.08
Saved money: $599-$551.08= $47.92
