Answer:
ERIC HAD 12 PIECES OF CLAY LEFT
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 + 4 = 12
x-17= 23
move -17 to the other side
sign changes from -17 to +17
x-17+17= 23+17
x= 23+17
Answer:
x= 40
Given:
width of bookshelf no greater than 6 1/2 feet
purchased bookshelf that is 77 inches wide
We need to find the equivalent value in feet of the purchased bookshelf.
1 foot is equal to 12 inches
77 inches * 1 foot/12 inches = 77 ft/12 = 6 5/6 ft
Or we can convert the feet into inches:
6 1/2 feet convert to improper fraction.
((6*2)+1)/2 = 13/2 feet
13/2 ft * 12 inches/1ft = (13 * 12)/2 = 156/2 = 78 inches
Compare the maximum width of 78 inches to the actual width of 77 inches.
The purchased bookshelf can fit between two windows.
