Dimensions of the room------------------- >16*13
1 in---------------- >0.0833333 foot
3 in----------------- >x
x=3*.0833333=0.25 ft
Let
<span>C-------------- > dimensions of the piece of carpet that Charlotte must purchase
C-------------- > (16+2*0.25)*(13+2*0.25)---------- > (16.50)*(13.50)=222.75 ft</span>²
<span>
The answer a the question 1) is 16.50 feet X 13.50 feet</span>
The answer a the question 2) is 222.75 ft²
<span>3. How many hours should it take for the four-person crew to lay the flooring in Charlotte's bedroom?
if </span><span>two-person carpet crew can lay 50 square feet of carpet---------- > 1 hour</span><span>
four person </span>carpet crew can lay 100 square feet of carpet---------- > 1 hour
therefore
if 100 ft² carpet----------------------- > 1 hour
222.75 ft² carpet--------------------- > x
x=222.75/100=2.2275 hours=2.23 hours
The answer is 2.23 hours
Answer:
20 and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us find x and y.
x – y = 4 _____(1)
x/2 + y/2= 18___(2)
Multiply (2) by 2 and add to (1)
x - y = 4
+<u>(x + y = 36)</u>
<u>2x = 40</u>
=> x = 40 / 2 = 20
From (1):
20 - y = 4
=> y = 20 - 4 = 16
The two numbers are 20 and 16.
