The number of shelves stephen can make is approximately 27
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>Given that Stephen makes wooden shelves for his room
Stephen wants to make the shelves 3/4 foot long
He starts with a board that is 20 feet long
To find: number of shelves he can make
So the number of shelves stephen can make can make is found out by dividing 20 feet long board by 3/4 foot long
So the number of shelves stephen can make is approximately 27
first we writte the information they are giving to us:
For company A:
initial fee = $90
rent per mile = $2
For combany B:
initial fee = $50
rent per mile = $3
Now for company A the equation that represent the charge in one mile will be: (where n is the number of miles)
And for company B:
Now to determine the number miles driven, that would make the cost of each company the same, we have to make A = B
and finaly we can solve for n
so if they drive for 40 miles the will pay the same
