Answer:

Raul have to buy 5 bags of wood shaving to cover the floor of the cage.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Dimension of the cage;

Length of the cage = 7 feet

Width of the cage = 1 yard.

Area of 1 bag of wood shavings = 5 square feet.

We need to find the number of bags Raul Have to buy to cover the floor of the cage.

Solution:

Now we can see that;

Width of the cage = 1 yard.

So we will convert yard into feet.

Now we know that;

1 yard = 3 feet

Width of the cage = 3 feet

Now we will find the area of the cage.

Area of the cage is equal to Length of the cage multiplied by width of the cage.

framing in equation form we get;

Area of the cage = 7\times3 =21\ ft^2

Now we will find the number of bags required to cover the cage.

number of bags required to cover the cage can be calculated by dividing Area of the cage by Area of 1 bag of wood shavings.

framing in equation form we get;

number of bags required to cover the cage = \frac{21}{5}=4.25

Hence we can say that;

Raul have to buy 5 bags of wood shaving to cover the floor of the cage.

Fill in the missing number to make the sentence true ?/6 < 1/2
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

1 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6 < 1/2 (because 1/2 = 3/6 and 1/6 < 3/6)

2/6 < 1/2 (because 2/6 = 1/3 and if we convert these numbers to decimals, then 0.33 [2/6] < 0.5 [1/2])

Solve the system of equations -x+ 2y = –11 and 5x – 8y = 39 by<br> combining the equations.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

x=-5, y=-8. (-5, -8).

Step-by-step explanation:

-x+2y=-11

5x-8y=39

---------------

5(-x+2y)=5(-11)

5x-8y=39

---------------------

-5x+10y=-55

5x-8y=39

--------------------

2y=-16

y=-16/2

y=-8

-x+2(-8)=-11

-x-16=-11

-x=-11+16

-x=5

x=-5

On a certain hot summer day, 673 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are 1.75 for children and 2.00 for adult
amid [387]

Answer:

Number of children = 386

Number of adults = 287

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of children

y = number of adults

x + y = 673 (1)

1.75x + 2y = 1249.50 (2)

From (1)

x = 673 - y

Substitute x = 673 - y into (2)

1.75x + 2y = 1249.50

1.75(673 - y) + 2y = 1249.50

1177.75 - 1.75y + 2y = 1249.50

- 1.75y + 2y = 1249.50 - 1177.75

0.25y = 71.75

y = 71.75/0.25

y = 287

Substitute y = 287 into (1)

x + y = 673

x + 287 = 673

x = 673 - 287

x = 386

Number of children = 386

Number of adults = 287
