To estimate, you should round some of the numbers to the closest number (rounding up or down). It will be more accurate the less you round. In this problem, we should round -5 1/4 to -5 since it is the closest. -5*-3/2 = 7.7. You will end up with -3/2x (-5 1/4) ≈ 7.5x
≈ means approximately equal.
To determine the correct statement in the choices presented, we first have to solve the area of the tray. We assume it to be in a rectangular form so the area is:
Area = 10 in x 10 in x 7/2.54 in = 275.59 in³ for the paint tray
1 gallon paint = 231 in³ paint
Therefore, the correct answer is the first option. <span>The paint will not fill the tray by 44.59 in</span>³<span>.</span>
Answer:
0.525
Step-by-step explanation:
\frac{x}{3.50}=\frac{15}{100}
The best way to answer this would be making a graph
For 1 sign it costs 54.50 and he makes 15
For 2 signs it costs 59 and he makes 30
For 3 signs it costs 63.50 and he makes 45
For 4 signs it costs 68 and he makes 60
For 5 signs it costs 72.50 and he makes 75
This means that after 5 signs Larry will be making profit
