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 angles below are supplementary. What is the value of x? (5 points)
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As the angles are supplementary, they sum up to 180

Hence, 3x+40+80=180

3x+120=180

3x=60

x=20

In a survey of 269 college students, it is found that
Degger [83]

Answer: a) 83, b) 28, c) 14, d) 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n(B) = 69

n(Br)=90

n(C)=59

n(B∩Br)=28

n(B∩C)=20

n(Br∩C)=24

n(B∩Br∩C)=10

a) How many of the 269 college students do not like any of these three vegetables?

n(B∪Br∪C)=n(B)+n(Br)+n(C)-n(B∩Br)-n(B∩C)-n(Br∩C)+n(B∩Br∩C)

n(B∪Br∪C)=69+90+59-28-20-24+10=156

So, n(B∪Br∪C)'=269-n(B∪Br∪C)=269-156=83

b) How many like broccoli only?

n(only Br)=n(Br) -(n(B∩Br)+n(Br∩C)+n(B∩Br∩C))

n(only Br)=90-(28+24+10)=28

c) How many like broccoli AND cauliflower but not Brussels sprouts?

n(Br∩C-B)=n(Br∩C)-n(B∩Br∩C)

n(Br∩C-B)=24-10=14

d) How many like neither Brussels sprouts nor cauliflower?

n(B'∪C')=n(only Br)= 28

Hence, a) 83, b) 28, c) 14, d) 28.
