Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
The area, a of the room is 8* 5.5
a = 44 sqaure feet
one square foot of tiles are sold in packages of 12
To get the number of packages needed, simply divide the area of the room by 12
This gives:
44/12 = 4
= 3.67 round up to the nearest whole number
= 4
Answer:
3500 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
The Greenpoint factory produced 2/5 of the bricks that the Consolidate Brick Company produced in 1991.
Let the amount of bricks produced by the Greenpoint factory be g and the amount of bricks produced by the Consolidated brick company be c.
Therefore:
g = 2/5 * c = 2c/5
That year, the Greenpoint factory produced 1400 tons of bricks. This implies that:
1400 = 2c/5
To find the amount that the Consolidated Brick Company produced, solve for c:
1400 = 2c/5
1400 * 5 = 2c
7000 = 2c
c = 7000 / 2 = 3500 tons
The Consolidated Brick Company had a total production output of 3500 tons in 1991.
Answer:
3 3/7 or 24/7 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
Let total job = X
Jeff's rate = X/6
Bob's rate = X/8
Combined rate = X/6 + X/8
(4X × 3X)/24 = 7X/24
7X/24 = X/T
T = X ÷ (7X/24)
T = X × (24/7X)
T = 24/7 mins
Shortcut:
T = product of individual times/sum of individual times
T = (6×8)/(6+8)
T = 48/14
T = 24/7
T = 3 3/7 mins
