Answer:

70 cans of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that:

1 box holds = 14 cans of paint

5 boxes =

Cross Multiplying

5 boxes will hold = 5 × 14

= 70 cans of paint

This question, requires that we use Distributive property

Distributive property states that: when 2 factors or numbers are multiplied together the result will be the same as splitting on of the numbers(factors) into two distinct numbers, multiplying both number by the other factor, and adding together both products.

Applying the definition above to solve the question, we would be splitting the number of boxes which is 5 into 2 distinct number = 2 and 3

As , 2 + 3 = 5

Hence, we have:

14 × 5 = 14( 2 + 3)

70 = 28 + 42

70 cans of paint = 70 cans of paint.

The numbers of cans of paint that are in the art supply closet is 70 cans of paint

Write an equation for the line that has a slope -8/9 and goes through the point (-7, 7)
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

y = (-8/9)x + 0.77777

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know the slope, so the only thing left to find is the y-intercept.

To find the y-intercept, we can <u>plug in the slope and point to the slope-intercept form equation</u> (y = mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-int.)

y   =     m *  x    + b

(7) = (-8/9)*(-7)   + b

<u>Now, just solve for b!</u>

(7) = (-8/9)*(-7)   + b

7 = 56/9 + b

7 - (56/9) = b

b = 0.777777 (repeating decimal, usually signified by a little line above the 7)

so now we just <u>plug in the slope and y-intercept we found into y = mx + b.</u>

y = mx + b

y = (-8/9)x + 0.77777

What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 38 meters and a height of 12 meters?
8090 [49]

For this case we have by definition that the area of a parallelogram is given by:

A = b * h

Where:

b: It's the base

h: It's the height

According to the data we have:

b = 38\ m\\h = 12 \ m

Substituting in the formula:

A = 38 * 12\\A = 456

The area of the parallelogram is A = 456 \ m ^ 2

Answer:

A = 456 \ m ^ 2
