Answer:

a. 270 square feet

b. 3.75 inches by 4.5 inches

c. $10,260

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular room measures 15 feet by 18 feet. It is going to be carpeted with carpeting that sells for $38 per square foot.

a. What is the area of the room in square feet?

Area of a rectangular room = Length × Width

Length = 15 feet

Width = 18 feet

Area of the room = 15 feet × 18 feet

= 270 square feet

b. If the room is drawn to 1/4 inch represents 1 foot scale, give the dimension of the room in inches on the scale drawing. Please write in decimal form to the nearest hundredth.

From the above question:

1/4 inch = 1 foot

Length = 15 feet

Hence:

1 foot = 1/4 inch

15 feet = x inch

Cross Multiply

x = 15 × 1/4 inch

x = 3.75 inches

For the Width = 18 feet

Hence:

1 foot = 1/4 inch

18 feet = x inch

Cross Multiply

x = 18 × 1/4 inch

x = 4.5 inches

Therefore, the dimensions of the room in inches is

3.75 inches by 4.5 inches

c. What is the total price for the carpeting? _

From the above question, we know that: A square foot of carpet is sold for $38

The area of the room is 270 square feet

Hence:

1 ft² = $38

270 ft² = $x

Cross Multiply

1ft² × $x = 270 ft² × $38

$x = 270 ft² × $38/ 1 ft²

$x = $10,260

Therefore, the total price for the carpeting of the room is $10,260.

vekshin1

Answer:

985.15mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 12 hours

First step is to calculate the weight in kg

255 lbs = 255/2.2 = 115.9 kg

Second step is multiply mg/kg in order to get total medicine per day

Dose per day=115.9kg × 17 mg

Dose per day= 1,970.3

Third step is to calculate how many milligrams of the drug should he receive by dividing the day dose by 2

Dose milligrams=1,970.3/2

Dose milligrams=985.15mg

Therefore how many milligrams of the drug should he receive every 12 hours will be 985.15mg

Which steps transform the graph of

vitfil [10]

Answer:

The correct option is the last one.

Step-by-step explanation:

To transform the graph of $y = x ^ 2$ into $y = -2(x - 2) ^ 2 + 2$ the following steps are fulfilled:

1) Move the graph 2 units to the right:

Let $y = f (x-2)$ then $y =(x-2) ^ 2$ Notice that the cut point has been moved to x = 2.

2) Reflect on the x axis:

To reflect a graph on the x-axis we do $y = -f(x)$ Then $f (x) = -(x-2) ^ 2$

3) Stretch according to factor 2.

For this we do $y = 2f(x)$

Then we have $f(x) = -2 (x-2) ^ 2$

4) Move up the graph in two units:

We do $y = f(x) +2$

Then $y = -2(x-2) ^ 2 +2.$

These steps coincide with those listed in the last option. Therefore the correct option is the last one.

"Translate 2 units on the right, reflect on the x-axis, stretch according to the factor 2 and translate 2 units"
