Let the number of boxes = x


<u>moving company:</u>

Total cost = 150 + 5x


<u>taxi service:</u>

Total cost = 20x


<u>For the moving company to be cheaper:</u>

150 + 5x < 20x

150 < 20x - 5x

150 < 15x

10 < x

x > 10


Answer: Moving company is cheaper when there is more than 10 boxes.

11. A square-shaped floor is covered with congruent square tiles. If the total number of tiles that lie on the two diagonals is
natita [175]

361 congruent square tiles would be needed to cover the square shaped floor.

<h3>Equation</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Since the number of tiles lying on both diagonals is 37. Let x represent the number of tiles on each side.

Counting one tile twice, there are:

  • 37=2x-1
  • x=19 tiles on each side.

19² = 361

361 congruent square tiles would be needed to cover the square shaped floor.

12 2/3 ^ 2 1/3what is 12 2/3 divided by 2 1/3 ​
Semmy [17]

Answer:

(12 2/3)/( 2 1/3)= 38/7 or 5 3/7 or 5.43 decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(12 + 2/3)/(2 + 1/3)

Put 2 + 1/3 over the common denominator 3. 2 + 1/3 = (3×2)/3 + 1/3:

(12 + 2/3)/((3×2)/3 + 1/3)

3×2 = 6:

(12 + 2/3)/(6/3 + 1/3)

6/3 + 1/3 = (6 + 1)/3:

(12 + 2/3)/((6 + 1)/3)

6 + 1 = 7:

(12 + 2/3)/(7/3)

Put 12 + 2/3 over the common denominator 3. 12 + 2/3 = (3×12)/3 + 2/3:

((3×12)/3 + 2/3)/(7/3)

3×12 = 36:

(36/3 + 2/3)/(7/3)

36/3 + 2/3 = (36 + 2)/3:

((36 + 2)/3)/(7/3)

36 + 2 = 38:

(38/3)/(7/3)

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator, (38/3)/(7/3) = 38/3×3/7:

(38×3)/(3×7)

(38×3)/(3×7) = 3/3×38/7 = 38/7:

Answer:  38/7
