Answer:

Under this conditions 8.15 strips will be needed to cover the floor.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we first need to calculate the area of the floor, since it's rectangular it's area is given by the product of it's length and width. In this case one of these measurements was given to us with a mixed unit, we need to convert it to a single unit in order to calculate correctly. This is done bellow:

width = 13 ft 6 in

width = 13 ft + 6 in

width = 13 ft + (6 in)/12 = 13 + 0.5 = 13.5 ft

Now we can calculate the area of the floor as shown bellow:

floor area = width*length = 14*13.5 = 189 ft²

Since each strip is 29 ft² to calculate how many strip will be used we need to divide the area of the whole floor by the area of each strip. We have:

number of strips = 189/29 = 6.52

Althought there must be 25% more strips, so we need to multiply that value by 1.25.

number of strips = 6.52*1.25 = 8.15

Under this conditions 8.15 strips will be needed to cover the floor.

The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 8. If the digits are interchanged ,new number is 10 more than double the original
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Original number 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

xy - two-digit number

1) x + y = 8

2) Original two-digit number can be written as

10*x + y

3) If the digits interchanged yx,

then the new number can be written as

10*y + x

4)  Double the original number is

2*(10*x + y)

5) New number is 10 more than double the original number

(10*y + x) - (2*(10*x + y)) = 10

6) Now we have the system of 2 equations:

x + y = 8

(10*y + x) - (2*(10*x + y)) = 10 -----> 10y + x - (20x + 2y) = 10 ---> 8y - 19x = 10

x = 8 - y

8y - 19(8 - y) = 10

8y - 152 +19y = 10

27y = 162

y = 6

x = 8 - y = 8 - 6 = 2

x = 2

So, x =2, y = 6.

Original number 26.

Check:

Original number 26.

New number 62.

Double of the original number = 2*26= 52.

New number is 10 more than double the original number :

62 - 52 = 10 True

Pls help thank you so much
Rudik [331]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start by "filling up" all of the bigger boxes. 75*14=1050 cupcakes, which when subtracted from the total initial amount leaves 400 cupcakes for the smaller boxes. The smallest multiple of 13 smaller than 400 is 390, which is 10 smaller than 400. Therefore, there will be 10 cupcakes left over, or answer choice C. Hope this helps!
