Christa has a rectangular rug in her living room that is 6 feet wide and 8 feet long. She decides that the rug is too small for the room, so she orders a new one that covers twice as much area. If the new rug is 1.5 times as wide as the original rug, how long, in feet, is the new rug?

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

A rectangular rug in her living room that is 6 feet wide and 8 feet long.

She orders a new one that covers twice as much area.

New rug is 1.5 times as wide as the original rug.

To find:

The length of new rug.

Solution:

We have,

Length of rug = 8 feet

Width of rug = 6 feet

Area of rug is

[tex]Area=length \times width[/tex]

[tex]A_1=8 \times 6[/tex]

[tex]A_1=48\text{ sq. feet}[/tex]

Area of new rug is twice of area of original rug.

[tex]A_2=2\times A_1[/tex]

[tex]A_2=2\times 48[/tex]

[tex]A_2=96\text{ sq. feet}[/tex]

New rug is 1.5 times as wide as the original rug.

Width of new rug = 1.5 × 6 = 9 feet

Let the length of new rug be x feets. So, area of new rug is

[tex]A_2=x\times 9[/tex]

[tex]96=x\times 9[/tex]

Divide both sides by 9.

[tex]\dfrac{96}{9}=x[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{32}{3}=x[/tex]

[tex]x=\approx 10.67\text{ feet}[/tex]

Therefore, the length of new rug is about 10.67 feet.

Three quarts of a latex enamel paint will cover about 120 square feet of wall surface. How many quarts are needed to cover 161 square feet of kitchen wall and 119 square feet of bathroom​ wall? Nothing quarts of a latex enamel paint are required

Answers

Answer:

7 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the rule of three. As seen in the picture below we need to find the X. We do this by multiplying 161 sq. ft. diagonally by 3 quarts and then dividing by 120 sq. ft. This will give us the number of quarts needed for the kitchen wall. Then we simply repeat the process for the bathroom wall and we are done. Like so ...

[tex]\frac{161 sq. ft. * 3 quarts}{120 sq. ft.} = x[/tex]

[tex]4.025 quarts = x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{119sq. ft. * 3 quarts}{120 sq. ft} = x[/tex]

[tex]2.975 quarts = x[/tex]

Therefore we need 4.025 quarts for the kitchen wall and 2.975 quarts for the bathroom wall ... making that a total of 7 quarts.

how to solve this 58+5x+10=11x+2

Answers

Answer:

11 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

58+5x+10 = 11x+2

68+5x = 11x+2

    -5x = -5x

68 = 6x+2

-2          -2

66 = 6x

66/6 = 6x/6

11 = x

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

58 + 5x + 10 = 11x + 2

First, combine like terms

68 + 5x = 11x + 2

Subtract 5x from both sides of the equation

68 = 6x + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equatino

66 = 6x

Divide both sides by six to get your answer

11 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

3.4 divided by 6.8 is 0.5 and 18-16 (the exponents) is 2. since ur dividing your subtracting the exponents. so then u get 0.5*10^2 but it cant be lower than 1 so u move the decimal in 0.5 one space to the right which then leads you to get 5*10^1 or 5*10 which is 50.

Which is correct equation , in slope intercept form , for the line described below?

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the line

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Being m the slope and b the y-intercept.

We are given two points for the required line: The x-intercept is -2, thus the point is (-2,0), and the y-intercept b=6 represents the point (0,6).

Since the value of b is 6, we use the first point to find the slope:

Solving:

m=3

The correct equation of the line is:
