The painter needs at least two gallons of paint to cover the wall.

To get this answer, you first need to find the area of the wall; by multiplying 20.5 x 16.4. This will get you 336.2.

Then, you need to divide 336.2 by 200. This will get you approx. 1.6.

If it's asking for partial gallons as well, stop here. Your answer is 1.6.

If not, continue.

Unless you're including partial gallons, you can't get 1.6 gallons of paint, so you need to round up. This will be 2 gallons.

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the area of the wall.

Area of a rectangle = width x length

Width = 16.4 ft and length = 20.5 ft

Therefore, area = 16.4 x 20.5 = 336.2 ft²

If one gallon can of paint covers 200 ft²  then we need 2 cans of paint to paint a wall measuring 336.2 ft² (as 2 cans of paint = 2 x 200 = 400 ft²)

Hey Guys! I need some help. This is the question... Sara travels often for her job. The miles she traveled for the last seven wo
Schach [20]

Using the median concept, it is found that the interquartile range of Sara's daily miles is of 21 miles.

<h3>What are the median and the quartiles of a data-set?</h3>

  • The median of the data-set separates the bottom half from the upper half, that is, it is the 50th percentile.
  • The first quartile is the median of the first half of the data-set.
  • The third quartile is the median of the second half of the data-set.
  • The interquartile range is the difference of the quartiles.

The ordered data-set is given as follows:

65, 72, 86, 88, 91, 93, 97

There are 7 elements, hence the median is the 4th element, of 88. Then:

  • The first half is 65, 72, 86.
  • The second half is 91, 93, 97.

Since the quartiles are the medians of each half, the have that:

  • The first quartile is of 72 miles.
  • The third quartile is of 93 miles.
  • The interquartile range is of 93 - 72 = 21 miles.

Write an equation that represents a vertical translation 7 units down of the graph of g(x) = 21.
xenn [34]

Answer:

<h2>h(x) = 14</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) + n - translation n units up

f(x) - n - translation n units down

f(x + n) - translation n units to the left

f(x - n) - translation n units to the right

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

g(x) = 21

translation 7 units down: g(x) - 7 = 21 - 7 = 14
