Given
piece of plywood measuring 2 feet 8 inches long by 2 feet 4 inches wide.
What is the area of a piece of plywood .
To proof
Here plywood shape in the form of rectangle.
Formula
Area of rectangle = Length×Breadth
As given in the question
Length =2 feet 8 inches
Breadth = 2 feet 4 inches
First convert feet into inches
1 feet = 12 inches
2 feet 8 inches = 2×12 + 8
= 32 inches
Also
2 feet 4 inches = 2×12 +4
= 28 inches
put is in the above formula
Area of plywood = 32 ×28
= 896 inches²
Therefore option (b) is correct
Hence proved
3/16=5/x
times both sides by 16x (aka cross multiply
3x=5*16
3x=80
divide both sides by 3
x=80/3
x=26 and 2/3
the missing number is 80/3 or 26 and 2/3
Answer Choice C
Draw a line from angle down to side AC
There are two steps to this problem. The first step is to make an equation for the cost of each company. The cost of each one involves 2 variables. However, we can ignore the number of days since the question asks for per day.
CostA = 90 + .40(miles)
CostB = 30 + .70(miles)
We want to know when A is a better deal or when A costs less. That is when CostA < CostB. We can then substitute the right sides of our equations into the inequality. This will give:
90 + .40(miles) < 30 + .70(miles) This is where we will now begin to solve for the number of miles.
-30 -30 Subtract 30 from both sides.
60 + .4(miles) < .7(miles) Simplify
-.4(miles) -.4(miles) Subtract .4(miles) from both sides
60 < .3(miles) Simplify
/.3 /.3 Divide both sides by .3
200 < miles Simplify
So for A to cost less the number of miles must be greater than 200.
First you must find the rate of both taxes. Since its 8% and 6%, you must add them both together, then divide them by 100.
14/100 = .14
Then for both rates you must add 1 because it is a tax increase.
1 + .14 = 1.14
Finally times 37.50 with 1.14
37.50(1.14) = <span>42.75

<span>$42.75 is the answer.</span>
