Answer:

2\frac{3}{14} yards

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that 4 1/2 yards of cloth are needed to make a woman’s dress. 2 2/7 yards of cloth are needed to make a girl’s dress.

To find the yards of more cloth needed to make a woman’s dress than a girl’s dress, we will subtract cloth needed for girl's dress from the cloth needed for woman's dress.

4\frac{1}{2}-2\frac{2}{7}

Convert mixed fraction into improper fraction:

4\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow \frac{4\times 2+1}{2}=\frac{8+1}{2}=\frac{9}{2}

2\frac{2}{7}\Rightarrow \frac{2\times 7+2}{7}=\frac{14+2}{7}=\frac{16}{7}

4\frac{1}{2}-2\frac{2}{7}=\frac{9}{2}-\frac{16}{7}

Make a common denominator:

\frac{9*7}{2*7}-\frac{16*2}{7*2}

\frac{63}{14}-\frac{32}{14}

\frac{63-32}{14}

\frac{31}{14}

2\frac{3}{14}

Therefore, 2\frac{3}{14} yards more cloth is needed to make a woman’s dress than a girl’s dress.

Diana sold 336 muffins at the bake sale.Bob sold 287 muffins.Bob estimates that he sold 50 fewer muffins than Diana.how did he e
malfutka [58]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of muffins Diana sold at the bake sale = 336

Number of muffins Bob sold at the bake sale = 287

Now, here we are using the method of estimation i.e. rounding the integers to nearest ones.

By estimation, we get

Number of muffins Diana sold at the bake sale = 340

Number of muffins Bob sold at the bake sale = 290

So,

Difference between them is given by

340-290\\=50

Hence, Bob sold 50 fewer muffins than Diana.

Answer:
equation is: width = area / length
width = 62.5 yd

Explanation:
For the first rectangle:
We have:
length = 75 yd and width = 60 yd
Therefore:
area = length * width 
area = 75 * 60
area = 4500 yd²

For the second rectangle:
We have:
area = area of first rectangle = 4500 yd²
length = 72 yd
area = length * width
width = area / length ............> The required equation
width = 4500 / 72
width = 62.5 yd

Hope this helps :)

Surface area of this right prism
Sphinxa [80]

\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}

\textsf{Let's calculate the surface area of given right prism}

\textbf{Area of Triangles :}

  • \sf{\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 16\cdot 12}

  • \sf{8×12}

  • \sf96 \:  \: cm {}^{2}

\textsf{Since there are two triangles, }

\textsf{Area of Triangles = 96 × 2 = 192 cm²}

\textbf{Now, calculate the Areas of rectangles :}

  • \textsf{Area - 1 = 12 × 10 = 120 cm²}

  • \textsf{Area - 2 = 16 × 10 = 160 cm²}

  • \textsf{Area - 3 = 20 × 10 = 200 cm²}

\textsf{Now add them all :}

  • \textsf{120 + 160 + 200 + 192}

  • \textsf{672 cm²}
