t represents the total cost and m represents the number of miles travelled. Since it costs .50 per mile, you would do .50m so that you could calculate the cost based on the number of miles and since the truck at first cost 20 dollars, you would add that to the equation to. This gives you t = 20 + .50m.
Convert your feet to inches. So 8 times by 12 = 96 inches if you have 3/4 of the board used. 3/4= .75 if you were to times 96 by .75 = 72 inches. So you used 72 inches and you have 24 inches left
now do 1/3= .33 times .33 by 24= 8 8 inches is how long you would give to Anthony's brother.
