Answer: She will need 142 ft of curtain.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, first we have to convert the length of the curtain from inches to foot.
Since 1 inch = 1/12ft
For 24 inches:
24 inches x 1/12 = 2 ft
Since the company wants to make 71 curtains, we have to multiply the length of each curtain (2ft) by 71.
2ft x 71 = 142ft
She will need 142 ft of curtain.
Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
Let x be he length of middle piece.
3x = length of longer piece.
x-5 = length of shortest piece.
x + 3x + x-5 = 40
5x - 5 = 40
5x = 45
x = 45/5
x = 9. ( Size of middle piece )
Given that the longer piece is 3 times the size of middle piece,
Longest piece = 3 x 9 = 27.
Size of longest piece = 27 feet
Size of middle piece = 9 feet
Size of smaller piece = 40 - (27+9)
= 40 - 36
= 4 feet.
Thank you.
Since he gets paid more for tutoring, he should work as many hrs tutoring as possible. He can only work at most 20 hrs. He has to work at least 3 hrs tutoring but no more then 8 hrs.....to maximize profit, he needs to work 8 hrs tutoring...leaving 12 hrs as a teachers aide. He should work 20 hrs to maximize his earnings.
maximum profit is : 8(10) + 12(7) = 80 + 84 = 164
1 inch on the drawing represents 11 feet in the labyrinth middle school.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The labyrinth middle school is much larger than the drawing. For 33 inches on the drawing, it is 363 feet on the actual school.
So 33 inches on the drawing is equal to 363 feet in the labyrinth school.
Step 2:
To calculate the scale factor, we divide the measurement after scaling by the same measurement before scaling.
In this case, the drawing that Tabitha drew is after scaling and the labyrinth middle school is the measurement before scaling
The scale factor 
So the scale factor is 
. This means that 1 inch on the drawing is 11 feet in the actual school.
