Answer: 224 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Each curtain is 48 inches long, and she wants to make 56 curtains.
However, the fabric store sells by the foot.
There are two ways to do this:
1) You can convert beforehand.
48 inches= 4 feet because 1 inch=1/2 foot.
Multiply 48 by 1/12 to find how many feet are in 48 inches.
= 48/12
=4
So 48 inches= 4 feet
Now, each curtain is 4 feet. There are 56 curtains to be made.
Now multiply by 4 to find how many feet are in 56 curtains.
56x4=224 feet.
Answer= 224 ft
Or: You can convert afterwards
48x56= how many inches in 56 curtains
= 2,688 inches
Then, convert to feet!
1 inch= 1/12 foot
2688 multiplied by 1/12:
=2688/12
=224 feet
Answer= 224 feet
Either way, you both get 224 feet.
Let, the number of cars = x
Then, x*30/100 = 12
x*30 = 1200
x = 1200/30 = 40
so, your answer would be 40
Age of two trees=162
162÷3=54
The age of one tree is 54
The age of other tree is 54 +54 which is equal to 108.
So let's just check if this statement is true or not. 54+108=162
Hence the answer is true

Answer:
<u>The correct answer is x = 5 2/3 - 7 2y/3</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's solve the equation for x
3x + 23y = 17
3x = 17 - 23y (Subtracting 23y at both sides)
3x/3 = 17/3 - 23y/3 (Dividing by 3 at both sides)
x = 17/3 - 23y/3
2. Proof of 17/3 - 23y/3 as the value of x
3x + 23y = 17
3(17/3 - 23y/3) + 23y = 17 (Multiplying the values inside the parenthesis)
17 - 23y + 23y = 17
<u>17 = 17</u>
<u>It has been proved that x = 17/3 - 23y/3</u>
<u>3. </u>However we can simplify
17/3 - 23y/3
<u>5 2/3 - 7 2y/3</u>
<u>There isn't a system of equations that will allow us to find y</u>
