First break= 1/2
second break = 1/2 of half= 1/4
third break = half of 1/4 = 1/8
forth break = 1/2 of 1/8 = 1/16
fifth break = 1/2 of 1/16 =1/32
fraction painted = 1 -1/32 =31/32
portion painted = 150*31/32 = 145.3125 ft^2

erastova [34]

Answer:

The equation are:

1) h + s = 20

2) 4h = 1s

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of hats Elliott made = h

Number of scarfs Elliott made = s

total number of items Elliott made = 20

h + s = 20 ..[1]

1 hat uses 0.2 kilograms of yarn

1 hat = 0.2 kg of yarn

Then h hats will use = 0.2h kg of yarn

1 scarf uses 0.1 kilograms of yarn

1 scarf= 0.1 kg of yarn

Then s scarfs will use = 0.1s kg of yarn

She wants to twice as much as yarn for scarves for hats:

2 × (0.2h kg of yarn) = 0.1s kg of yarn

0.4h = 0.1s

4h = 1s...[2]

The equation are:

1) h + s = 20

2) 4h = 1s
