Answer:

12.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

He only needs 10/12 of a 15 foot long piece of wood. We need to find 10/12 of the length of the wood.

That is:

10/12 * 15 = 12.5 feet

He only needs 12.5 feet of the piece of wood.

New streetlights will be installed along a section of the highway. The posts for the streetlights will be 7.5 m tall and made of
SIZIF [17.4K]
First, we determine the volumes of the posts may it be cylindrical in shape or rectangular prism. 

(A) cylindrical:
                         ( π(26.7/100)² - π(24.2/100)²)*(7.5) = 0.3 m³
(B) rectangular prism:
                          (40/100)²(7.5) - (35/100)²(7.5) = 0.28125 m³

Then, we calculate for the amount of substance
 (A) cylindrical:   (0.3 m³)(2700 kg/m³) = 810 kg
 (B) rectangular prism : (0.28125 m³)(2700 kg/m³) = 759.375 kg

Then, calculate for the costs
 (A) (810 kg)($0.38/kg) = $307.8
 (B) (759.375 kg)($0.38/kg) = $288.56

Thus, the answer for A is rectangular post 
B. About $19.24 can be saved.

Adult tickets for the school play are $12.00 and children's tickets are $8.00. If a theatre holds 300 seats and the sold out per
Vaselesa [24]
Let x = number of adult tickets, and y = number of children tickets. One equation must deal with the number of tickets, and the other equation must deal with the revenue from the tickets.

Then x + y = 300 is the number of tickets
12x + 8y = 3280 is the revenue from the tickets.

Using the substitution method:

x + y = 300   ⇒   y = 300 - x   ⇒   Equation (3)

12x + 8y = 3280   ⇒   12x + 8(300-x) = 3280   ⇒   x = 220

y = 300 - x   ⇒   y = 300-220 ⇒ 80

Therefore 220 adult tickets and 80 children's tickets were sold.
