For this case we observe that we have a percentage of blue thread which will be given by:
 (2/9) * (100) = 22.22222222%
 Making the following rule of three we have:
 34 ----> 100%
 x ------> 22.22222222%
 Clearing x we have:
 x = ((22.22222222) / (100)) * (34)
 x = 7.555555555
 x = 7.6
 Answer: 
 Paige did buy 7.6 yards of blue yarn

a teacher needs 70 lengths of string cut to 40 cm each. If balls of string are 10 m long how many balls will be needed
LenKa [72]
A meter is 100 cm. A ball of string has 10m of string, and you multiply 10m by 100cm, you get 1,000cm. Then you multiply 40cm by 2, and you get 80cm, or two lengths of string. Then you multiply 35, which is half of 70, by 80, and that is 2,800 cm.
2,800
÷40cm=70
And 100cm=1m.
The teacher will therefore need 28 balls of string.

The table below shows the different times it takes Paula to drive to work each day depending on the rate at which she drives.
faust18 [17]
Speed = distance / time
30 = d / 2.5
30 * 2.5 = d
75 = d

40 = d / 1.875
40 * 1.875 = d
75 = d

50 = d / 1.5
50 * 1.5 = d
75 = d

60 = d / 1.25
60 * 1.25 = d
75 = d

24 = 75 / time
time = 75/24
time = 3.125 hours

Bill's new porch is rectangular, with an area of 50 square feet. If the length of the porch is two times the width, what is the
Gwar [14]
1. The formula for the area of a rectangle is:

 A=LxW

 L: The lenght of the rectangle (L=2W).
 W: The width of the rectangle.

 2. Let's substitute L=2W into the formula A=LxW:

 A=LxW
 A=2WxW
 A=2W²

 3. When we clear "W", we obtain:

 W²=A/2
 W=√(A/2)

 4. We already know the value of "A", so:

 W=√(50 ft²/2)
 W=√(25 ft²)
 W=5 ft

 5. Now, we must substitute the value of "W", into L=2W:

 L=2W
 L=2(5 ft)
 L=10 ft

 6. The perimeter of a rectangle is:

 P=2L+2W

 7. We know the value of "L" and "W", therefore:

 P=(2x10 ft)+(2x5 ft)
 P=20 ft+10 ft
 P=30 ft

 W<span>hat is the perimeter of the porch?

 The answer is: 30 ft
