Part A

x = amount of money she starts with

(4/9)x = cost of the dress

(5/9)x = amount of money leftover after buying the dress

note that 4/9 and 5/9 add to 1 to represent 100% of her money

(3/4)*(5/9)x = (15/36)x = (5/12)x = amount spent on shoes

We see that she spent 5/12 of her original amount of money on shoes.

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

We can look at a more concrete example if the previous section does not make sense.

Let's multiply the denominators 9 and 4 to get 9*4 = 36. Doing this trick will mean that the later steps won't involve decimal values.

Let's say she starts off with $36

Multiply that with 4/9 to get (4/9)*36 = 16. So in this hypothetical situation, the dress costs $16 and she's left with 36-16 = 20 dollars.

Multiply that 20 by 3/4 to get (3/4)*20 = 15

In this situation, the shoes cost $15

We'll then divide the cost of the shoes (15) over the original amount of money she started with (36)

15/36 = (3*5)/(3*12) = 5/12

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

<h3>Answer:  5/12</h3>

=======================================================

Part B

From the first section in part A, we found that:

  • (4/9)x = amount of money spent on the dress
  • (5/12)x = amount of money spent on shoes

Add those two expressions

(4/9)x + (5/12)x = (16/36)x + (15/36)x = (31/36)x

This indicates that buying the dress and shoes will cost (31/36)x dollars, where x is the original amount of money Jing has to start with.

The amount left over is (5/36)x because 5/36 adds with 31/36 to get 1.

Take 1/3 of this to get:

(1/3)*(5/36)x = (5/108)x

Then set this equal to 18 and solve for x

(5/108)x = 18

5x = 18*108

5x = 1944

x = 1944/5

x = 388.80

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

Let's check the answer

If she starts with 388.80 dollars, then the dress costs (4/9)*388.80 = 172.80

She's left with 388.80 - 172.80 = 216 dollars after buying the dress.

She then spends the remaining 3/4 of that on shoes. So (3/4)*216 = 162 dollars is spent on the shoes.

Jing now has 216 - 162 = 54 dollars left over.

1/3 of which is spent on the shoe bag, meaning it costs (1/3)*54 = 18 dollars

This confirms our answer.

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

<h3>Answer:  $388.80</h3>

Cube-shaped blocks are packed into a cube-shaped storage container. ​ The edge length of the storage container is 212 feet. The
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The volume of cube-shaped block is 0.125 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Edge length of storage container =

2\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ feet}

Edge length of block =

\dfrac{1}{5}\times \text{Edge length of container}

Putting value we get,

Edge length of block =

\dfrac{1}{5}\times 2\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{5}\times \dfrac{5}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ feet}

Volume of cube-shaped block = Volume of cube

V = \text{(Edge)}^3\\\\V =(\dfrac{1}{2})^3\\\\V = \dfrac{1}{8}\text{ cubic feet}\\\\V = 0.125\text{ cubic feet}

Thus, the volume of cube-shaped block is 0.125 cubic feet.
