Carlos needs 24 inches of fabric for a pillow that he is making. The fabric store has a piece of material 3/4 of a yard long tha

t is already cut that he can buy for $5.50. If he has the exact size piece he needs cut from a bolt of fabric, it will cost $8.98 a yard. a.) Is the piece of material that is already cut large enough for his pillow? b.) What would be the cost of having exactly 24 inches of fabric cut? c.) Which is the better buy for Carlos?​

Answer:

a. the piece is already large enough

b. about $5.9866666666 or round to $5.99 for exactly 24 inch

c. The first option is a better buy

Step-by-step explanation:

a. convert 3/4 yard to inches. 1 yard = 36 inch. so 0.75yd / x = 1 / 36

solve and get x = 27 inches, this is more than 24 inches needed.

b. first find how many yards you need, that is same as 24 inch.

1 / 36 = x / 24 inch

x = 2/3 yards

next find how much price would be:

8.98 / 1 = x / 2/3

x = 8.98(2/3) = about $5.99

c. compare the two prices, $5.50 is less than $5.99 so the first option is better.

I spent a while to explain - please rate/like, thank you!

<h2><em>James has $9 </em></h2><h2><em>Priya has $10.80 </em></h2><h2><em>Siobhan has $9.18 </em></h2><h2><em>because 9*20% is 1.8 so add that to 9 to get 10.80 then times 10.80 by 15% to get 1.62 so you subtract 1.62 from 10.80 to get $9.18  </em></h2>

Determine the ratio in which the point (–6, m) divides the join of A(–3, –1) and B(–8, 9). Also, find the value of m.
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Ratio = 3 : 2 and value of m = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the end points ( -3,-1 ) and ( -8,9 ) of a line and a point P = ( -6,m ) divides this line in a particular ratio.

Let us assume that it cuts the line in k : 1 ratio.

Then, the co-ordinates of P = ( \frac{-8k-3}{k+1},\frac{9k-1}{k+1} ).

But, \frac{-8k-3}{k+1} = -6

i.e. -8k-3 = -6k-6

i.e. -2k = -3

i.e. k = \frac{3}{2}

So, the ratio is k : 1 i.e \frac{3}{2} : 1 i.e. 3 : 2.

Hence, the ratio in which P divides the line is 3 : 2.

Also, \frac{9k-1}{k+1} = m where k = \frac{3}{2}

i.e. m = \frac{\frac{9 \times 3}{2}-1}{\frac{3}{2}-1}

i.e. m = \frac{27-2}{3+2}

i.e. m = \frac{25}{5}

i.e. m = 5.

Hence, the value of m is 5.
