First break= 1/2
second break = 1/2 of half= 1/4
third break = half of 1/4 = 1/8
forth break = 1/2 of 1/8 = 1/16
fifth break = 1/2 of 1/16 =1/32
fraction painted = 1 -1/32 =31/32
portion painted = 150*31/32 = 145.3125 ft^2
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To convert from degree Fahrenheit to Celsius, we use the formula:

If Habib's recipe is to be baked at 356 degree Fahrenheit, then we substitute F=356 to obtain an equivalent value in degree Celsius.

Habib should bake his scones at
.
The buyer will be paying taxes for 185 days, so will pay
... (185/365)·$8200 = $4156
Your most appropriate choice seems to be $4178, which corresponds to 186 days' taxes.
_____
There are 30 days in each month in the last half of the year, plus 1 additional day in each of July, August, October, and December. The 30th of June also belongs to the buyer (but the 29th, closing day, does not), so there are 180+5 = 185 days for which the buyer must pay taxes. The answer choices don't include that value.
Here are the following justifications:
Given: -2 (x-1) +12=4x-6
Distribute property = -2x+2+12=4x-6
Combine like terms= -2x+14=4x-6
Transpose = -2x = 4x – 20
Addition or Subtraction Property of Equality = -6x = -20
Division property of equality = x = 20/6
Simplify = x = 10/3
