There are 9 feet so it would usually be nine 12" pieces but since each cut takes away 1/8, you can only cut 8 pieces equal to 12 inches.
Considering this fact, each cut would take away 0.125 inches. If you're cutting 8 times, you would in all be taking away 1 inch.
So aside from the eight 12" sections, you would have a leftover of 11 inches.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
170=40x+50
170=40x+50 subtract 50
120=40x divide by 40
3=x
Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation: Slopes that are perpendicular to each other are opposite reciprocals. So take the opposite of the sign, negative or positive. Then flip the numerator and the denominator. -1/4 goes to +1/4 goes to +4. Hope this helps!
Answer:
y = -3/7x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
2 - 8 / 7 - (-7)
-6/14
= -3/7
y = -3/7x + b
2 = -3/7(7) + b
2 = -3 + b
5 = b
