Answer:

4 sections can be installed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fence space for the fence in front of the house = 30 feet

Each fence section measures = 4.5 feet wide

let the numbers of sections installed = x

Then measure of fence covered by the sections = 4.5x feet

At each end of the section a piece of decorative piece measure= 1.75 feet wide

If x sections are installed then number of decorative pieces required will be same as x.

Therefore, length of decorative pieces = 1.75x feet

Now the total length of fence = Length of sections installed + Length of decorative pieces

4.5x + 1.75x = 30

6.25x = 30

x = \frac{30}{6.25}

x = 4.8

Since number of sections can not be in the fraction or decimals so maximum 4 sections can be installed.

Since, each side of the fence should have the 1 3/4 feet wide decorative piece, the width of the fence should be subtracted by 2 pieces (1 3/4 feet)
                                 = 26.5 feet
Then, divide the remaining width by 4.5 feet and the answer is 5.88. Thus, approximately 5 pieces of the 4 1/2 feet should be installed.

The stem-and-leaf plot shows the scores of a class of sixth graders on a math test.
SOVA2 [1]

A stem and leaf plot shows sets of two digit numbers, by separating the ten’s place and the one’s place. On the left is the different ten’s values, while on the right next to each of the values on the left is the one’s values that associate with each of the ten’s values. This means that the numbers in this set of data are 32, 47, 51, 55, 55, 55, 58, 64, and so on. From there, you can use that knowledge to figure out how many scores were above 60.


The terms that are above 60 are 64, 65, 73, 74, 77, 87, 88, 91, 93, 93, 97, 99, and 99, for a total of 13 of the 20 scores being above 60.

The least common multiple of two numbers is 60, and one of the numbers is 7 less than the other number. What are the numbers?
storchak [24]
Step One - List the factors of 60.
Step Two - Locate the factors that are seven apart from each other.

Factors of 60:
1 × 60
2 × 30
3 × 20
4 × 15
5 × 12
6 × 10

60 - 1 = 59
30 - 2 = 28
20 - 3 = 17
15 - 4 = 11
12 - 5 = 7
10 - 6 = 4

5 is 7 less than 12, and 60 is their least common multiple.
