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.

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

(1,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-2=4x-y-1

subtract 2x on both sides

-2=2x-y-1

add y on both sides

y-2=2x-1

add 2 on both sides

y=2x+1

now we can just kinda plug and check.

if you plug in 1, you get 3, so A

4(x-6)&lt;-2x+6 what is the solution to the inequality <br> _
Cloud [144]
Simplify both sides if needed. The left-hand side needs simplification.

4(x - 6) \leq -2x + 6
4x - 24 \leq  -2x + 6

All is left to do is add and subtract to get the x variable all alone.

4x - 24  \leq -2x + 6
6x - 24  \leq  6    <-- Add 2x to both sides
6x         \leq  30  <-- Add 24 to both sides 
x           \leq 5    <-- Divide both sides by 6

In order to be in the solution set, x has to be less than or equal to 5.

In interval notation: [5, -∞)

1700÷40= 42.5 

step one: you divide 40 into 1700
step two: you find the closest number that goes into 1700 which is 4 so 40×4= 160
step three: then you subtract 1700 from 160 and you'll get 100
step four: then you'll find the closest number that goes into a 100 and that will be 2 so 40×2=80
step 5: you'll then subtract 100 from 80 and you'll get 20 
step 6: you when then add a decimal and add an extra 0 to 1700 so you will now have 17000 you will bring down the 0 to make 20 into 200 and you will find the closest number that will go into 200 which will be 5 cause 40×5= 200 so you're answer will be 42.5units
