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.

natali 33 [55]

Let x be a number of skateboards and y be the number of bicycles in Eddie's repair shop.

Eddie asks the girls to order 54 new wheels for 21 skateboards and bicycles, then

x+y=21.

One scateboard has 4 wheels, then x scateboards have 4x wheels, one bicycle has 2 wheels, then y bicycles have 2y wheels. In total there should be ordered 54 wheels, so

4x+2y=54.

Solve the system of equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y=21\\4x+2y=54.\end{array}\right.

From the first equation x=21-y. Substitute it into the second equation:

4(21-y)+2y=54,\\ \\84-4y+2y=54,\\ \\-2y=54-84,\\ \\-2y=-30,\\ \\2y=30,\\ \\y=15.

Then

x=21-15=6.

Answer: 6 scateboards and 15 bicycles.

Tresset [83]

4/1 / 5/2 = 4/1 * 2/5 = 8/5

1 7/8 = 15/8

15/8 * 8/5 = 120/40 = 12/4 = 3 inches

 shorter side should be 3 inches

ANSWER: M(-9,-4) to M’(-5,2)
If (x,y) is to (x+4,y+6)
Then (-9,-4) is to (-9+4,-4+6)
Hence (-9,-4) is to M’(-5,2)
Hopefully it’s correct
