Answer:

9670 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height given (8219.5 ft) is 85% OF ORIGINAL, hence original is much higher. But how do we figure this out?

we translate word problem to equation.

8219.5 IS 85% of TOTAL

Firstly, 85% = 85/100 = 0.85

Remember, is means =

of means multiplication

So we have:

8219.5 = 0.85 * Total

Hence, total = [let total be 7]

8219.5 = 0.85 * t

t = 8219.5/0.85 = 9670 feet

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The volume of the cart will be 24 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we need to calculate for this question is the number of boxes that fill the entire cart.

A layer of boxes consists of 8 boxes.

The cart holds a maximum of 3 layers of boxes.

So, the total number of boxes held by the cart are:

Total boxes = number of layers * boxes per layer

Total boxes = 3 * 8

Total boxes = 24

Since each box has a volume of one cubic foot, the total volume of the cart will be:

Volume of cart = number of boxes * volume of each box

Volume of cart = 24 * 1

Volume of cart = 24 ft^3

Hello need help please with Divide rational and simplify
aliina [53]
Dividing fractions is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal so you can change the equation to this
\frac{ - 14 + 7x}{4}  \times  \frac{4}{4 - 2x}
And you can simplify by eliminating the fours and multiplying straight across
\frac{ - 14 + 7x}{4 - 2x}
You can pull out - 7 from the top and 2 from the bottom so you have this
\frac{ - 7(2  -  x)}{2(2 - x)}
And then you can cancel out to (2-x) to get an answer of
\frac{ - 7}{2}
