Answer:

What error did the salesman make?

The salesman made an error when convert 270 square feet to yards.

What should be the actual cost of the carpet?

The actual cost of the carpet is $360

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that:Tisha orders a carpet for a room that measures 270 square feet.

This means the room needs 270 square feet of carpet

But from the question, we know that the carpet is sold in square yards

We convert square feet to square yards

For our conversion rates

3 ft = 1 yard

9 ft² = 1 square yards(yd²)

270 ft² = x

Cross Multiply

9 ft² × x = 270ft² × 1 yd²

x yd²= 270ft² × 1 yd²/9 ft²

x = 30 yd²

Hence, 270ft² = 30yd²

Cost of carpet =

1 yd² = $12.00

30 yd² =

Cross Multiply

= 30 × $12.00

= $360.00

The actual cost of the carpet is $360

What error did the salesman make?

The salesman made an error when convert 270 square feet to square yards.

He said 270 square feet = 90 square yards

But he was wrong.

270 square feet = 30 square yards.

What should be the actual cost of the carpet?

The actual cost of the carpet is $360

Find the radius of the sphere with a volume of 32/81π cubic yards. Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form. PLEASE HELP
NeTakaya
Area of a sphere = 4(pi)(r)^2
Reverse the equation to find the radius (r)
The answer will be in pi form

32/81(pi)

8/20.25(pi)

Square root of 8/20.25(pi) = radius

r =  2.8(rounded)/4.5(pi)

Can u help with these two
Artemon [7]
The volume of a rectangular prism can be given by the form
V= b*h*w

you know Volume, base, and height but you dont know width

so divide b and h to both sides
\frac{V}{b*h} = w
and you cna solve for width

now for 6.
dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal

n \div 6  = n * \frac{1}{6}
