Answer:

<em>159 feet of fabric</em>

Step-by-step explanation

We are told that 1 curtain is 36inches long

Since 1 foot = 12inches

x foot = 36inches

Cross multiply;

12 * x = 36

12x = 36

x = 36/12

x = 3

Hence 36inches is same as 3 feet

If Charlotte's curtain company wants to make 53 curtains, the length of 53 curtain is expressed as;

1 curtain = 3feet

53 curtain = y

y = 53 *3

<em>y = 159 feet</em>

<em>Hence she will need 159 feet of fabric</em>

<em> </em>

Because you need a number between 1 and 10 for scientific notation. So you move the decimal over 11 places. Since you move it to the right, it becomes a negative exponent.

What is the solution for this system of equations? <br>y= -1/4x + 6<br>y= x+1​
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (4, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equating the expressions for y gives ...

  -1/4x +6 = x +1

  5 = 5/4x . . . . . . . add 1/4x-1

  4 = x . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4/5

  y = x +1 = 4 +1

  y = 5

The solution is (x, y) = (4, 5).

What’s the ratio for 40 and 64
NARA [144]

Answer:

5/8, 5:8, or 5 to 8

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to simplify the ratio so you have to figure out what 40 and 64 have in common. tho right away you can assume that they both have 2 in common bcz they are both even so you can divide them both by two and get 20/32, and then you can do it again bcz they are both even again and get 10/16, and then you can do it again bcz they are also both even and get 5/8. now 5 is a prime number so you cant divide it any further so you stop it there. and i put three answers bcz there are three ways to write a ratio
