The area of the room is 147.5 square feet so Michelle's reasoning was incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
To calculate the area of the given room, we divide the unknown shape into known shapes.
The room's shape is made of 2 rectangles.
The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and its width.
One rectangle has a length of 10 feet and a width of 12 1/2 feet.
The other rectangle has a length of 15 - 10 = 5 feet and a width of 4 1/2 feet.
Step 2:
The area of the first rectangle = (10)(12 1/2) = (10)(12.5) = 125 square feet.
The area of the second rectangle (10)(4 1/2) = (5)(4.5) = 22.5 square feet.
The total area of the room = 125 + 22.5 = 147.5 square feet.
Answer:
564 pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
1 box = 12 pencils
25 boxes = 25 × 12 pencils = 300 pencils
22 boxes = 22 × 12 pencils = 264 pencils
300 + 264 = 564 pencils
Answer:
<h2>x = 2</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 6 = 6 + 2x
4 + 6 = 6 + 4
10 = 10
multiply the hourly rate by number of hours worked
12.75 x 35.25 = 449.44 per week
449.44 x 2 = 898.88 for two weeks
My initial answer was $2750.45, and I will show you my calculations.
Calc : 6774.5 ÷ 100 = 67.745
67.745 × 2.7 = 182.9115
182.9115 × 22 = 4024.053
6774.5 - 4024.053 = 2750.45
= $2750.45
At first I thought this was correct, but after studying my answer I realise that the amount of interest would rise as the amount of money went up, therefore my calculations are very wrong. If I work out the answer, I will get back to you, but the calculation is more complicated than I first predicted
