Answer:

72 ÷ 8 is equal to 9

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to solve 72 ÷ 8 by breaking apart and distributing, the first step is to write the number ''72'' as the sum or subtraction of two numbers that are divisible by ''8''.

We can write :

$72 = 40+32$

If we replace this last expression in the original one :

72 ÷ 8 = (40 + 32) ÷ 8 (II)

Now in (II) we can use the distributive property of the division :

(40 + 32) ÷ 8 = (40 ÷ 8) + (32 ÷ 8) (III)

Finally, we need to solve the expression (III) :

(40 ÷ 8) + (32 ÷ 8) = 5 + 4 = 9

We find that 72 ÷ 8 is 9 by breaking apart and then distributing.

Jacob is a plumber. Due to increased material costs, he puts all his prices up by 7%. He now chargers R320 per hour for her serv

Lorico [155]

Answer:

R290.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = charge before he put his prices up

New charge = R320

Percentage increase in price = 7%

x + 7% of x = 320

x + 0.07 * x = 320

x + 0.07x = 320

1.07x = 320

x = 320/1.07

x = 299.06542056074

Approximately

x = R290.1

Charge before he put his prices up = R290.1

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

They need 2 and 1/2 rolls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length x width

A = l x w

A = 20 x 3

A = 60 ft²

If 60 ft² = 1 roll

What about 150 ft² = ?

= (150 x 1) ÷ 60

= 150 ÷ 60

= 2.5

= 2 and 1/2 rolls

The radius of a circle is 14.2 m. Find the circumference to the nearest tenth.

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

C=89.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the circumference of a circle is C=2piR (or C=piD). Now, when calculating, plug in the numbers, giving you C=2pi14.2. Multiply everything, you get a super long irrational number; just round. You will get 89.2.
