To multiply fractions, the numerator of the product is the product of the numerators, likewise for the denominators.
(2/3) x (4/7) x (14/5) = (2 x 4 x14) / (3 x 7 x 5)
= (112) / (105) = 1 and 1/15 .
0.05 * 10 =0.5
If you want an equivalent expression as division simply divide both sides by either 0.05 or 10 and it'll be dividing:
10 = 0.5/0.05 OR 0.05 = 0.5/10
The law of supply<span> states that the quantity of a good </span>supplied<span> (i.e., the amount owners or producers offer for sale) rises as the market price rises, and falls as the price falls. Conversely, the </span>law<span> of </span>demand<span> (see </span>demand<span>) says that the quantity of a good demanded falls as the price rises, and vice versa.</span>
The number of buckets is directly proportional to the area and the thickness of the wall and inversely proportional to the amount of paint. Mathematically, we can write:
n = k · (a · t) / p
where k is the proportionality constant which we do not know.
We can calculate k with the given data: 5 2-gallon buckets, area of 100 square feet and thickness 3 inches:
k = (n · p) / (<span>a · t)
= (5 </span>· 2) / (100 · 3) = 0.0333
Now that we know the constant, we can calculate the area that can be painted with 8 2-gallon buckets if the thickness is 6 inches:
a = (n · p) / (k<span> · t)
= (8 </span>· 2) / (0.0333 · 6)
= 80 ft²
Please, note that we made sure to have the exact same units of measurements than the previous case.
Therefore, the correct answer is an area of 80 ft².
