Answer:
The amount of white paint Jen used to paint the walls in her room is:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the exercise you only have to pay attention to the statement, in the section that says that 4/5 parts of the total painting is blue, therefore, if 1 is the total painting, you must do a subtraction:
Since the remaining white paint is 1/5 of the total, you have two ways to solve the exercise: multiply the total paint (8.2 pints) by 1/5 or divide the number by 5, as shown below:
- <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints * (1/5) = 1.64 pints.
</u>
- <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints / 5 = 1.64 pints.
</u>
As you can see, the two methods provide a <u>value of 1.64 pints, which corresponds to 1/5 of the total paint and is the amount of white paint used</u>.
Answer:
<h2>10.88inches</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles x and y are 127 degrees.
X + Y = 127
The measure of x is 34 more than half the y.
X = (y/2) + 34
X = (y + 68) / 2
X = 127 - Y
(Y + 68)/2 = 127-Y
254-2Y = Y+68
186 = 3Y
Y = 62
X = 127-62 = 65
The measure of two angles are 62 and 65
50/80 = 0.625
100 - 0.625 = 0.375
0.375 = 37.5% (move the decimal point to the right 2 spaces)
37.5% decrease is your answer
hope this helps
