Answer: it will cost $50.4 to cover one-fourth of the garden with flowers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy’s garden is rectangular in shape and the formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The dimensions of Amy’s rectangular garden are 15 feet by 12 feet. This means that the area of the garden would be

15 × 12 = 180 ft²

The area equivalent to one-fourth of the garden would be

1/4 × 180 = 45ft²

The flowers will cost $1.12 per square foot of ground covered. Therefore, the cost of covering one-fourth of the garden with flowers would be

45 × 1.12 = $50.4

Answer:

  $50.40

Step-by-step explanation:

The garden has an area of ...

  (15 ft)(12 ft) = 180 ft²

Amy wants to cover 1/4 of that with flowers, so the area devoted to flowers is ...

  (1/4)(180 ft²) = 45 ft²

The cost for each square foot is $1.12, so the cost of the flowers will be ...

  ($1.12/ft²) × 45 ft² = $50.40 . . . . cost to cover 1/4 of the garden with flowers

The sum of the digits of a 2-digit number is 10. If 18 is added to the number, the digits of the new number are those of the ori
Aliun [14]

Answer:

46

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (ab) represent a number with a in the ten's position and b is the one's position.

This means (ab) actually has value of 10a+b.

We are given the sum of those digits of (ab) is 10; this means a+b=10.

It says if 18 is added to the number (ab), then the result is (ba).

So (ab) has value 10a+b and

(ba) has value 10b+a.

We are given then:

(ab)+18=(ba)

10a+b+18=10b+a

Subtract 10a on both sides:

b+18=10b+a-10a

Simplify:

b+18=10b-9a

Subtract b on both sides:

18=10b-b-9a

18=9b-9a

Divide both sides by 9:

2=b-a

Rearrange by commutative property:

2=-a+b

So the system of equations we want to solve is:

a+b=10

-a+b=2

-------------------------Add equations together (this will eliminate the variable a and allow you to go ahead and solve for b:

0+2b=12

2b=12

Divide both sides by 2:

b=\frac{12}{2}

Simplify:

b=6

If b=6 and a+b=10, then a=4.  a=4 since 4+6=10.

So the original number is (46).

18 more than 46 is 18+46=(64) which is what we wanted.

We also have the sum of 4 and 6 is 10 as well.

Elise and her younger brother, Reid, take turns loading the dishwasher after dinner. Because she is older, Elise loads the dishw
erik [133]

Answer:

<h2>48</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

so  for every 3 Reid washes there are 4 Elsie washes

the ratio of washing is 3:4

lets add 3 and 4 up

3 + 4 = 7

now lets divide the total number of washes by the added ratio

84/ 7

=12

now we know that 1 part is 12

to find Elsie's part we need to x 12 by how many parts she has got

she washed 4 times

4 x 12

=48

This triangle is a multiple of one of the triples listed here. What is the hypotenuse?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

50 units

Step-by-step explanation:

you use Pythagorean-theorem  which means A^2+B^2 =C^2

It does not matter the order of A and B because it is adding. But C is the hypotenuse.

If we plug in the # this is what it looks like...

14^2 +48^2=C^2

        or

48^2+14^2=C^2

14*14= 196

48*48=2,304

then you add

196+2,304=C^2

2,500= C^2

and you can use a calculator for this part you do 2,500

with the 2,500 you use the sign as in the picture and it gives you...

50

which means 50*50 = 2,500

nadezda [96]
Y = 20x

y • x = 180

180/x = y

180/x = 20x

180 = 20x^2

x^2 = 6

x = + or - 3

Therefore y must equal + or - 60.
