The board is 12x larger in length than the nails. (Since the width of the board and nails are unknown, I am assuming you mean the length, not area difference)
2x4=8 is the expression gets the answer
The volume of the pipe is about 282.6 cubic feet.
First, we need to find the area of each circular cross section and subtract them to find the width of the pipe. The area of a circle is pi(r^2).
pi(3^2) - pi(2^2)
28.26 - 12.56 = 15.7
The width of the pipe is 15.7. Now, multiply that by 18 to find the volume.
15.7 x 18 = 282.6
According to given information,
Equation of Melinda Earning = 75 + 12x
Equation of Marcus Earning = 15x
Where, x = Number of hours they worked.
Now, we need to calculate when they will have same amount of money, so for that instance they shall equal to each other.
75 + 12x = 15x
15x - 12x = 75
3x = 75
x = 75/3
x = 25
After 25 hours, they will have the money = 15(25) = $375
So, your final answer is $375
Hope this helps!
