Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of one of the boards = 8 feet

Converting to inches

1\ \text{foot}=12\ \text{inches}\\\Rightarrow 8\ \text{feet}=8\times 12=96\ \text{inches}

One cut is 16 inches

So, we divide the length of the board by 16

\dfrac{96}{16}=6

So, one board is cut into 6 pieces.

The other board is also 8 feet long.

So, the number of pieces the other board is cut into is also 6.

Hence, a total of 6+6=12 pieces of each 16 inches long can be cut from the two boards.

which factor would make a bank think that a prospective buyer would be more likely to pay a mortgage on time?
trapecia [35]
The best answer is "The buyer paid over 20% of the sales price of the home as a down payment." This indicates that not only is the buyer paying above the minimum down payment, which means he/she has more cash than the minimum needed to purchase the home, but also that the monthly payments, interest, and total loan will be lower. All of this indicates a less risky prospective borrower.

If there are 12 dogs and cats in the vet's office, then if they were the same, there would be 6 dogs and 6 cats. Since there are are more dogs than cats, the number of dogs would have to be at least 7 to get more cats than dogs. If there were 7 dogs, there could only be 5 cats so that the total would be 12.
