4C. Quintin is using the three different shaped

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sauron [17]3 years ago
3 0

The smallest number of tiles Quintin will need in order to tile  his floor is 20

The given parameters;

  • number of different shapes of tiles available = 3
  • number of each shape = 5
  • area of each square shape tiles, A = 2000 cm²
  • length of the floor, L = 10 m = 1000 cm
  • width of the floor, W = 6 m = 600 cm

To find:

  • the smallest number of tiles Quintin will need in order to tile his floor

Among the three different shapes available, total area of one is calculated as;

A_{one \ square \ type} = 5 \times 2000 \ cm^2 = 10,000 \ cm^2

Area of the floor is calculated as;

A_{floor} = 1000 \ cm \times 600 \ cm = 600,000 \ cm^2

The maximum number tiles needed (this will be possible if only one shape type is used)

maximum \ number= \frac{Area \ of \ floor}{total \ area \ of \ one \ shape \ type} \\\\maximum \ number= \frac{600,000 \ cm^2}{10,000 \ cm^2} \\\\maximum \ number=  60

When all the three different shape types are used we can get the smallest number of tiles needed.

The minimum or smallest number of tiles needed (this will be possible if all the 3 different shapes are used)

3 \times \ smallest \ number  = 60\\\\smallest \ number = \frac{60}{3} \\\\smallest \ number = 20

Thus, the smallest number of tiles Quintin will need in order to tile  his floor is 20

A teacher is buying pencils for her classroom. If a dozen pencils cost $0.97, how many pencils can she purchase with $5?
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The teacher can purchase 61 pencils with $5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple proportion problem. It can be solved by pure logic reasoning without any formulas

It a dozen pencils cost $0.97, each pencil cost $0.97/12=0.08083

With $5 she will be able to purchase 5/0.08083=61.85 pencils

We must round to the nearest lower integer

The teacher can purchase 61 pencils with $5
