Answer:

$8.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 45 yards of ribbon to feet through proper conversion factor.  

  (45 yards)(3 ft / 1 yard) = 135 feet

Divide this number by 5 to determine the number of 5-ft ribbon that customers can purchased.

    n = 135 ft / 5 ft = 27

Then, multiply by $0.80.

   R = (27)($0.80) = $21.6

The profit is equal to $21.6 and $13.50,

    P = $21.6 - $13.50 = $8.1

Answer: $8.1

From eight different books, in how many ways can any four of them be arranged side by side on a bookshelf?
Snezhnost [94]
First we calculate how many ways you can choose four books from a set of eight.
We use the formula n! / [r! * (n-r)!]

8! / [4! * 4!]

= 8*7*6*5 / 4*3*2*1 = 70 ways

Then we have to calculate how many permutations can be made from 4 objects which equals 4*3*2*1 = 24

So, the TOTAL number of ways = 70 * 24 = 1,680

Factor completely 4x^2 − 32
Blababa [14]

Answer: 4(x+2\sqrt{2})(x-2\sqrt{2})

Step-by-step explanation:

We can first take out the common factor of 4, as both 4x² and -32 are divisible by 4.

4(x^2-8)

From here, we can assume that x²-8 is a difference of two squares even though 8 is not a perfect square.

<em>For review, a difference of two squares </em>a^2-b^2 can be factored into (a+b)(a-b).

4(x^2-8)\\4(x+\sqrt{8})(x-\sqrt{8})\\4(x+2\sqrt{2})(x-2\sqrt{2})
