Convert the mixed number to inches. 3 feet 8 inches = 44 inches (12 inches per foot x 3 feet= 36 inches + 8 inches= 44 inches). 44 inches (length each section needs to be) x 4 (number of sections needed)=176 inches (total molding needed). To determine the amount of molding needed in feet, convert 176 inches into feet by dividing 176 inches by 12 inches. You get 14 2/3 feet, so the shortest board length is 15 feet.
Answer:
138.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Part (a)
<h3>Answer:
2(2.4+w) = 14.2</h3>
--------------
Explanation:
L = 2.4 = length
W = unknown width
The perimeter of any rectangle is P = 2(L+W)
We replace L with 2.4, and replace P with 14.2 to get 14.2 = 2(2.4+w) which is equivalent to 2(2.4+w) = 14.2
========================================================
Part (b)
<h3>Answer:
w = 4.7</h3>
--------------
Explanation:
We'll solve the equation we set up in part (a)
2(2.4+w) = 14.2
2(2.4)+2(w) = 14.2
4.8+2w = 14.2
2w = 14.2-4.8
2w = 9.4
w = 9.4/2
w = 4.7
The width must be 4.7 cm.
