12ft x 15ft = 180ft divided $150 = 1.2(this is how much the fts cost)
16ft x 20ft = 320ft divided by 1.2 = $266.66
150. Divide 5000 by 100 and you get 50. Multiply 3 by 50 and you get 150.
10/30) x (9/29) x (8/28) = 720 / 24,360
= 6 / 203 = 2.96 percent (rounded)
Answer:
a=223.57
c=181.43
Step-by-step explanation:
a=405-c
substitute for a in the equation :
12a+5c=3590
12(405-c)+5c=3590
4860-12c+5c=3590
-7c=3590-4860
-7c=-1270
c=1270/7=181.43
a=405-1270/7
a=1565/7=223.57
For part A Amy's estimate is inaccurate because when adding fractions they must have the same denominators. Amy probably made the mistake of adding 1/4 and 1/3 without changing the denominators first which gave her 1/7. If she were to do it correctly then she would've ended up with 7/12 as her answer.
My work:
1/4=3/12
1/3=4/12
4/12+3/12=7/12
I hope this helps and if I gave any false information I apologize in advance.
