Answer:
Width Length
5 8.7
7.9 11.6
9 12.7
11.3 15.0
13 16.7
Step-by-step explanation:
If they gave you the width, you add 3.7 to get the length.
If they gave you the length, you subtract 3.7 to get the width.
The number of buckets is directly proportional to the area and the thickness of the wall and inversely proportional to the amount of paint. Mathematically, we can write:
n = k · (a · t) / p
where k is the proportionality constant which we do not know.
We can calculate k with the given data: 5 2-gallon buckets, area of 100 square feet and thickness 3 inches:
k = (n · p) / (<span>a · t)
= (5 </span>· 2) / (100 · 3) = 0.0333
Now that we know the constant, we can calculate the area that can be painted with 8 2-gallon buckets if the thickness is 6 inches:
a = (n · p) / (k<span> · t)
= (8 </span>· 2) / (0.0333 · 6)
= 80 ft²
Please, note that we made sure to have the exact same units of measurements than the previous case.
Therefore, the correct answer is an area of 80 ft².
If you would like to find a step that can be used to find the solution to the set of equations, you can do this using the following steps:
c = 2d + 1
c = 3d + 5
__________
c = c
2d + 1 = 3d + 5
2d - 3d = 5 - 1
- d = 4
d = -4
The correct result would be <span>2d + 1 = 3d + 5.</span>
