Answer:

36 cans for $3.32

Step-by-step explanation:

36 cans = $3.32

1 can =$ 0.092

9 cans = $0.91

1 can = $0.01

0.09 and 0.1 the cheaper is 0.09 dollars so 36 cans for $3.32 is better

Dave can complete a sales route by himself in 4 hours. James can do the same job in 5 hours. How long will it take them to do it

Alexeev081 [22]

We can solve this problem by calculating the individual rate of working and equate it to their total rate of working.

If Dave can complete a sales route in 4 hours, then his working rate is

$\frac{1}{4}$

Also, if James can do it in 5 hours, then his working rate is

$\frac{1}{5}$

Let
$x$
be the hours that both will use to complete the sales route,

Then rate at which both completes this task is
$\frac{1}{x}$

Meaning if we add their individual rates we should get

$\frac{1}{x}$

That is;

$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{x}$

The LCM is
$20x$

So let us multiply through with the LCM.

$20x \times \frac{1}{4} + 20x \times \frac{1}{5} =20x \times \frac{1}{x}$

$5x + 4x = 20$

We simplify to get,

$9x = 20$

Dividing through by 9 gives;

$x = \frac{20}{9}$

$x = 2\frac{1}{9}$

Therefore the two will complete sales route in
$2 \frac{1}{9}$
hours.

Steve makes a banner with an area of 8 square feet. On a grid, draw all possible rectangles with an area of 8 square feet and si

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The correct answers are with side lengths 1 feet and 8 feet, the perimeter is 18 feet; and with side lengths 2 feet and 4 feet, the perimeter is 12 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangular banner is 8 square feet.

The side lengths of this rectangular banner are whole numbers.

Thus the possible pairs of side lengths that would give 8 when multiplied with each other are (1 , 8) ; (2 , 4).

So the possible side lengths are 1 feet and 8 feet or 2 feet and 4 feet.

The perimeter when the side lengths are 1 feet and 8 feet are 18 feet.

The perimeter when the side lengths are 2 feet and 4 feet are 12 feet.
