Jack has 18 yards of fabric that he wants to cut into pieces that are each 1 foot long. How many one-foot long pieces can Jack create? Come up with two different strategies for solving. (1 yd = 3 ft)
Step 1
Convert yards to foot
1 yd = 3 ft
18 yards = x
Cross Multiply
x = 18 × 3 ft
= 54 ft
Step 2
He wants to cut into pieces that are each 1 foot long. How many one-foot long pieces can Jack create?
Supplementary angles sum up to 180°, suppose the supplement of 161° is x. Then 161+x=180 solving for x we subtract 161 from both sides 161-161+x=180-161 x=19 thus the supplement is 19°
