Volume of a prism is height x base x length. the area of the base would be calculated from the volume/ height so
320/8 = 40 cm squared

To make a profit, a clothing store sells jeans at 115% the amount they paid for them. How much did the store pay for the jeans s

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The store paid 6.67 times the profit made on the jeans

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount the clothing store pay for Jean be X

Let the amount the clothing store sells Jean be Y = X ×1.15

The profit (P) made is the difference between amount the clothing store sells Jean and the amount paid for Jean = Y - X = 1.15X - X

Profit (P) = 0.15X

X = P/0.15 = 6.67P

Therefore, the store paid 6.67 times the profit made on the jeans

A map of Colorado says that the scale is 1 inch to 20 miles or 1 to 1,267,200. Are these two ways of reporting the scale the sam

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

1,267,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the map reported that the scale is 1 inch to 20 miles.

Recall that there are 63,360 inches in 1 mile, thus, in 20 miles, we have 20 x 63,360 = 1,267,200

Therefore, the scale of 1 inch to 20 miles can also be represented as 1 to 1,267,200

Chandresh is helping his father paint the fence in their back yard. The fence is represented by the shaded part of the diagram b

Lyrx [107]

B. The total area painted is 864; they must buy two cans of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

A rectangle's area can be calculated by multiplying its length and its width. The wall is made up of 5 different types of rectangular walls. All walls are 8 feet tall but the length varies.

Step 2:

The area of the 20 feet long wall = $(length)(width)= (20)(8) =160,$

The area of the 10 feet long wall = $(length)(width)= (10)(8) =80,$

The area of the 5 feet long wall = $(length)(width)= (5)(8) =40,$

The area of the 4 feet long wall = $(length)(width)= (4)(8) =32,$

The area of the 15 feet long wall = $(length)(width)= (15)(8) =120.$

The area of all the walls = 432 square feet.

Since there are two sides for every wall, total area = $432(2)=864$ square feet.

Step 3:

If one paint can covers 500 square feet,

the number of cans required to paint 864 square feet = $\frac{864}{500} = 1.728$ cans.

so 2 paint cans are needed to paint 864 square feet which is option B.

Lisa is 10 centimeters taller than her friend Ian. Ian is 14 centimeters taller than Jim. Every month, their heights increase by

bekas [8.4K]

Let Lisa's height be x, Ian's be y and Jim's be z
x = 10 + y . . . (1)
y = 14 + z . . . (2)
y + 14 + z + 14 = 170 + x + 14
y + z - x = 170 + 14 - 28 = 156 . . . (3)
From (2), z = y - 14 . . . (4)
Putting (1) and (4) into (3) gives,
y + y - 14 - 10 - y = 156
y = 156 + 24 = 180

Therefore, Ian's height is 180 centimeters
