Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1 foot = 12 inches
length of board in inches = 8 ft × (12 in)/ft = 96 in
length of cut in inches = 5 ft + 8 in = 5 ft × (12 in)/ft + 8 in = 60 in + 8 in = 68 in.
96 - 68 = 28 inches left
X = smaller number, y = larger number
x + y = 15.....x = 15 - y
4x = 2y - 60
4(15 - y) = 2y - 60
60 - 4y = 2y - 60
60 + 60 = 2y + 4y
120 = 6y
120/6 = y
20 = y <==== larger number is 20
x + y = 15
x + 20 = 15
x = 15 - 20
x = - 5
Answer:
c= -18
Step-by-step explanation:
c+4c= -90
combine like terms
5c= -90
Divide by 5 on both sides
c= -18
41 feet is the correct answer !!!!!!
Both 17/10 and 2 4/5 should be rounded up in preparation for this estimation.
17/10 is close to 2 and 2 4/5 is close to 3. Thus, your estimated answer should be
2/3, or approx. 0.6666....
Exact answer: divide 17/10 by 14/5. LCD is 10, so convert 14/5 to 28/10.
Now divide 17/10 by 28/10. Answer: 17/28 = approx. = 0.607 approx.
These two results are comparable: 0.6666.... and 0.6071 ....
