The new parking lot must hold twice as many cars as the previous parking lot. The previous parking lot could hold 56 cars. So this means the new parking lot must hold 2 x 56 = 112 cars
Let y represent the number of cars in each row, and x be the number of total rows in the parking lot. Since the number of cars in each row must be 6 less than the number of rows, we can write the equation as:
y = x - 6 (1)
The product of cars in each row and the number of rows will give the total number of cars. So we can write the equation as:
xy = 112 (2)
Using the above two equations, the civil engineer can find the number of rows he should include in the new parking lot.
Using the value of y from equation 1 to 2, we get:
x(x - 6) = 112 (3)
This equation is only in terms of x, i.e. the number of rows and can be directly solved to find the number of rows that must in new parking lot.
The order of the 3 books does not matter so its the number of combinations of 3 from 45
b is the correct choice
I’m pretty sure it’s A but it could also me C
Hopes it right.
Okay. First thngs first, let's divide each of them. 2.6/1.3 is 2. Now in terms of exponents, we would just simply subtract the powers, because we are doing division. 9 - 2 is 7. The value of the expression is 2 * 10^7. Even writing the problem out in number form (2,600,000,000/130), you can still see the answer to the problem as 20 million. The answer is B.
B 3:7
If there are 6 mops, and 14 mops and brooms, you get 6:14, which simplifies to 3:7.
