The answer is $24.41
Step 1. Calculate the area of the <span>circular piece of fabric.
Step 2. Multiply the area of the piece by the price of </span><span>$5.40 per ft² to get the total cost.
Step 1.
The area (A) of the circle with radius r is:
A = </span>π r²
π = 3.14
r = 1.2 ft
A = 3.14 * (1.2 ft)²
A = 3.14 * 1.44 ft²
A = 4.52 ft²
Step 2.
Make a proportion
1 ft² costs $5.40
4.52 ft² cost x
1 ft² : $5.40 = 4.52 ft² : x
x = 4.52 ft² * $5.40 / 1 ft²
x = $24.41
Kulay, there is no such thing as a "step by step answer" here. You seem to want a "step by step solution."
I must assume that by 4/5 you actually meant (4/5) and that by 2/3 you meant (2/3). Then your equation becomes:
(4/5)w - 12 = (2/3)w.
The LCD here is 5*3, or 15, so mult. every term by 15:
12w - 180 = 10w.
Add 180 to both sides, obtaining 12 w - 180 + 180 = 10w + 180.
Then 12w = 10w + 180. Simplifying, 2w = 180. What is w?
-3(2x-4)+8x-8
-6x+12+8x-8
2x+4
x=2
