Answer:

36 boards

Step-by-step explanation:

The boards are as long as the room, so I only had to worry about the width. If the boards were 1/2 ft wide, I would need 2 boards for every foot of width. For 16 ft, I would need 32 boards.

Instead of dividing, I wrote the equivalent multiplication by multiplying by the reciprocal of 11/24 (the reciprocal of 11/24 is 24/11)

I simplified by dividing both 2 and 24 by 2, and both 11 and 33 by 11.

Therefore he needs 36 boards

What is the value of m,the points (2,3),(3,6)and (m,12) are collinear....Please y'all help me out
timurjin [86]

Answer:

m = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the points are collinear, they all lie on the same line and have the same slope between them.

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 6)

m = \frac{6-3}{3-2} = \frac{3}{1} = 3

Now calculate the slope using 2 other points and equate to 3

(x₁, y₁ ) = (3,  6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (m, 12)

m = \frac{12-6}{m-3} = \frac{6}{m-3} = 3 ( multiply both sides by m - 3 )

6 = 3(m - 3) ← divide both sides by 3

2 = m - 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

5 = m
