Let unit cost of one rake be : r

Given : Total number of volunteers = 12

Given : Each pair of gloves cost $8.00

⇒ Cost of 12 pair of gloves for 12 volunteers = (12 × 8) = $96

Given : The gardener spends a total of $300 on both rakes and gloves

⇒ Cost of 12 rakes + Cost of 12 pair of gloves = $300

⇒ 12r + 96 = 300

⇒ 12r = 204

⇒ r = 17

<u>Answer</u> : Cost of one rake is $17

The correct answer is Choice B: 53.0 feet.

If you draw a picture of the cross section, you will have a right triangle. The hypotenuse is 58 and one of the legs is 23.6. All you have to do is use the Pythagorean Theorem and solve for the missing side.

x^2 + 23.6^2 = 58^2

a pipeline is laid at a rate of 1/8 mile per day.How many miles of line would be completed in 29 1/2 days

Setler [38]

Answer:

In 29 1/2 days, the total pipe laid is $(\frac{59}{16})$ mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of pipe laid in 1 day = 1/8 mile

So, the length of pipe laid in half day = half of (1/8 mile)

= $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{16} \textrm{mile}$

Now, 29 1/2 days on simplification means 29 and half day.

So, length of pipe in 29 days = $29 \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{29}{8}$ mile

Now adding the length laid in half day = $\frac{29}{8} + \frac{1}{16} = \frac{29 (2) + 1}{16} = \frac{59}{16} \textrm{mile}$

So, in 29 1/2 days, the total pipe laid is $(\frac{59}{16})$ mile.

What 1,112,433 rounded to the nearest ten thousand

ValentinkaMS [17]

1,110,000.
You look at the ten thousands value and look at the number after it. If it is less than 5 then it is that number, just add zeros to the rest of the values after it.
