1+3=4
A counterexample is an a example that proves the statement false.
1+3 are not even numbers but they equal an even one, so it just proved the statement wrong.
A) If you cut off half the peaks (3.5 ft down from the top), they will just fill the valleys making a rectangle 18.5 ft by 30 ft. The area is the product of these dimensions.
A = (18.5 ft)*(30 ft) = 555 ft²
b) To determine the number of quarts of paint required, divide this number by 90 ft². Since you cannot buy a partial quart, if there is any remainder, use the next higher integer number of quarts.
555/90 ≈ 6.2 so Pat should buy 7 quarts of paint.
Answer:
Girls = 16
Total students = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
40% of the students are girls, this means 60% of the students are boys.
To find the number of girls, setup a proportion using the percentages and actual number of students in the class. I am going to make the numerator the numbers that go with the girls and the denominator will be the numbers that go with the boys.
Also let's convert the percentages to decimals by moving the decimal two places left.
40% = 0.4 and 60% = 0.6

Now let's find the total number of students by adding the number of girls to the number of boys.
16 + 24 = 40
Let the total ribbon Zoe had was x feet.
Out of x feet, she used 3/8 part of it.
Hence, 
3/8 part of the original ribbon is equal to 9 feet.
Hence, we get

=> Multiply 8 on both sides.

Divide both sides by 3


Zoe had 24 feet of ribbon in starting... Answer
$33.33
20/9 = $2.22 per sheet
$2.22*15 = $33.33
