Answer:
3.39 ft, 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a board is 10.17 feet long. Sandy needs
to cut the board into 3 equal sections.
Let x be the length of each piece then we have
ft
Each section would be 3.39 feet long.
-----------------------
When each is 5.085 feet let y be the number of pieces
Then

Two sections would be needed
Answer:
3. a-9b-4
4. -6p+19
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to combine like terms.
The number is 2
To find the answer set the problem up like this:
4X + 3 = 11
Now, solve for X.
Whatever you do to one side of the = sign, do to the other side.
Take 3 away from both sides: 4x = 8
<span>Now divide both sides by 4: x = 2

As we are dealing only with the tubas which are part of the brass section we can ignore the percussion and woodwind for this question.
2/5 of 240 = 2/5 x 240 = 96 brass instruments
2/5 of 96 = 2/5 x 96 = 38.4 tuba players
I suspect that the question may be wrong!
