2 answers:
Answer:
She should divide the length of the wall by the number of strips.
Step-by-step explanation:
We want each of our 96 stripes to be just wide enough so that all 96 of them cover the 15 yards long mural with no spaces left. To find the necessary width of the stripes, we just need to divide the length of the wall by the number of stripes:
This gives a width of 0.15625 yards for each stripe.

A student had 500 milliliters of water in a water bottle. She drank 25% of the water before soccer practice. After practice, she drank 1/3 of the remaining water.
How much water, in milliliters, does the student have left in the bottle?
Answer:
the amount of water the student have left in the bottle is 250 milliliters
Step-by-step explanation:
A student had 500 milliliters of water in a water bottle. She drank 25% of the water before soccer practice. After practice, she drank 1/3 of the remaining water.
How much water, in milliliters, does the student have left in the bottle?
Before the soccer practice, she drank 25 % of the water
25% of the water = 25% of 500
= 25% × 500
= × 500
At the right hand-side of the equation, the two zeros will cancel-out the other two zeros, hence;
= 25 × 5
=125
25% of the water = 125 milliliters
From the question, it was said that drank 25% of the water before soccer, this implies that she drank 125 milliliters from the water bottles.
If she drank 125 milliliters of from a 500 milliliters water contain in the water bottle, then the amount of water left will be 500 ml - 125 ml = 375 ml
This implies that before the soccer practice she had 375 milliliters of water left in the water bottle.
After the practice, she drank 1/3 of the remaining water, which means after the practice she drank 1/3 of 375
1/3 of 375 = × 375 =
= 125
After the practice she drank 125 milliliters of water from her 375 milliliters water.
The amount of water she have left after the practice will be;
375 milliliters - 125 milliliters = 250 milliliters
Therefore, the amount of water the student have left in the bottle is 250 milliliters
