Answer:

t = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

given x varies inversely as t , then the equation relating them is

x = $\frac{k}{t}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition x = 8 when t = 6 , then

8 = $\frac{k}{6}$ ( multiply both sides by 6 )

48 = k

x = $\frac{48}{t}$ ← equation of variation

when x = 12 , then

12 = $\frac{48}{t}$ ( multiply both sides by t )

12t = 48 ( divide both sides by 12 )

t = 4

Answer: The cost to tile the floor is $318.24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Dimensions of floor is 12 by 17 foot.

So, Area of floor would be

$12\times 17\\\\=204\ sq.\ foot$

As we know that 1 foot = 12 inch

So, Area of floor would be

$204\times (12)^2\\\\=204\times 144\\\\=29376\ sq.\ foot$

Dimension of brick tiles is given by

$3\dfrac{5}{8}\ by\ 7\dfrac{5}{8}\ by\ \dfrac{1}{2}$

So, Area of brick tiles is given by

$2(lb+bh+lh)\\\\=2(\dfrac{29}{8}\times \dfrac{61}{8}+\dfrac{61}{8}\times \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{29}{8}\times \dfrac{1}{2})\\\\=2(\dfrac{1769}{64}+\dfrac{61}{16}+\dfrac{29}{16})\\\\=2\times \dfrac{1769+244+116}{64}\\\\=\dfrac{2129}{32}$

So, Number of clay brick would be

$29376\div \dfrac{2129}{32}\\\\=29376\times \dfrac{32}{2129}\\\\=\dfrac{29376\times 32}{2129}\\\\=441.53\\\\\approx 442$

cost of each clay brick = $0.72

So, Total cost of flooring would be

$442\times 0.72\\\\=\$318.24$

Hence, The cost to tile the floor is $318.24.
