Answer:

A. 90

B. Soccer ball = 30

Basketball = 30

Football = 15

Kickball = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let whole students be 1

Only 15 students are known to order kickball. So the fraction of the number becomes :

1 - ( \frac{1}{3}  +  \frac{1}{3}  +  \frac{1}{6} ) \\ 1 -  \frac{5}{6}  =  \frac{1}{6}

So the fraction of students that ordered kick balls is 1/6

Since 1/3 = 2(1/6):

30 students ordered for soccerballs

30 students ordered for basketballs

15 students ordered for footballs and

15 students ordered for kick balls.

Altogether, a total of 90 students were asked

Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 20 ft wide and 35 ft long. She wants to leave a uniform strip of floor aroun
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

18ft wide and 33 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that:

Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 20 ft wide and 35 ft long.

The Area of the carpeting she must have = 594 ft²

To solve for this, we have:

Length × Width = Area of a rectangle

594ft² = Length × Width

594ft² = (20 - x) (35 - x)

594 = 700 - 20x - 35x + x²

594 = 700 - 55x + x²

Collect like terms

x² - 55x + 700 - 594

x² - 55x + 106

We factorise

x² - 2x - 53x + 106

(x² - 2x) -(53x + 106)

x(x - 2) -53(x - 2)

(x - 2)(x - 53)

x - 2 = 0, x = 2

x - 53 = 0, x = 53

We choose the least value for x

Hence, x = 2

Length = 20 - 2 = 18ft

Width = 35 - 2 = 33ft

The dimensions the rug should have is 18ft by 33ft, meaning 18ft wide and 33 ft long
