Usimov [2.4K]

Let x be the total price. And you paid 75% of it which is $135.

x * 75/100 = 135
x = 180
You would have paid $180 if you had not used coupons.

The ribbon was 3 1/4 inches wide and had an area of 19 1/2 square inches. What is the length of the ribbon? Please Help Will Giv

miv72 [106K]

Hello!

The formula for finding area is l × w

If the area is 19 ½ inches and it was 3 ¼ inches wide, then the length will be 19 ½ ÷ 3 ¼ (Area ÷ Width)

$19 \frac{1}{2} \div 3 \frac{1}{4}$

Change both to improper fraction

$19 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{39}{2}$

$3 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{13}{4}$

$\frac{39}{2} \div \frac{13}{4}$

Keep 39/2
Change ÷ to ×
Flip 13/4 = 4/13

$\frac{39}{2} \times \frac{4}{13} = \frac{156}{26} = 6$

$\framebox {The length of the ribbon is 6 inches}$

500 seconds is greater. Since there are 60 seconds in one minute you would multiply 60 and 8.
60x8= 480
