If there are 15 boards there are 14 gaps in-between. 
But first, 15 boards each 9 and 1/4th inches so you get  a total of 138 inches and 3/4th
If you subtract that from 144 you get 5 inches and 1/4th. The remaining amount is the total of all of the distance from the spacing.
Then you divide that by 14 (number of gaps/spacing in-between.)
So you get .375 inches. (3/8)
So width of the spacing between each board is 3/8ths of a inch

Kamila [148]

Answer:

65  cups

Step-by-step explanation:

If she sold 10 more cups of lemonade than tea and sold 120 cups total.  I first would subtract 10 cups from 120 =110.  then I divide 110 /2 = 55 cups

The 55 cups makes it equal then I add the 10 cups back to the Lemonade to get 55+10 = 65

So your answer would be 65 cups of lemonade

ms anderson bought 45 baseball hats. Mets hats cost $18 and Yankee hats cost $24. If she spent $1050, how many of each did she b
DerKrebs [107]
First, you have to set up two equations. X + y = 45 18x + 24y = 1,050 To do this, you have to solve for an exponent by cancelling out the other one. To solve for y, you multiply everything in the first equation by -18. -18x -18y = -810 This cancels out the x and leaves you with 6y = 240. Divide both sides by 6 and you have the number of Yankee hats that were bought. Then, you have to substitute 40 for y in the first equation and solve for x.
