Answer:

12 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the board = 48 in

It must be divided into 4 pieces of equal length

This means, there will be 3 cut to have 4 pieces

Each cut will cause a waste of 3/16 in.

Total waste = 3 cut × 3/16 in

= (3*3)/16

= 9/16 in

Length of board remaining = Total length of the board - Total waste

= 48 - 9/16

= (768-9)/16

= 759/16 in

How long will each piece be after the cuts are made?

Length of each piece after the cut = Length of board remaining / 4

= 759/16 ÷ 4

= 759/16 × 1/4

= 759/64

= 11.859375

Approximately 12 pieces to the nearest whole number

Hi there!

First you simplify.

Simplified = 9x+(−5)+(−8)+x

Then you combine the like terms.

<span><span><span><span><span>9x</span>+(<span>−5)</span></span>+(<span>−8)</span></span>+x (*-5 and -8 are like terms) (9x and x are like terms)

</span></span><span><span><span>Combined it's~ (<span><span>9x</span>+x</span>)</span>+<span>(<span><span>−5</span>+<span>−8</span></span>)

</span></span></span><span><span><span>Solve and that comes to 10x</span>+<span>−<span>13 which is your answer. :)

Alice Correa bought three yards of cloth to make a dress the cloth was on sale for a dollar 93 per yard how much did Alice pay f
alexandr1967 [171]
To solve for the total amount that Alice paid for the 3 yards cloth, multiply the cost per yard with the additional 5% to number of yards. 5% of 93 is 4.65. The total cost per yard of cloth is 97.65. Multiplying the total cost with 3 will give 292.95. Thus, Alice paid 292.95 dollars in total.
