Question 8 (2 points)
Question 8 options:
Solve this problem. Reduce to lowest terms.
Brown's department store is having a 1 fourth off sale. How much would a shirt that regularly sells for $36.00 cost during the sale?
$Blank Space __________
Question 7:
The tower could be built to a height of: 12 * (2 1/2) = 30 inches.
Blank Space: 30 inches
Question 8:
1/4 off of $36.00 is (1/4) * $36.00 = $9.00.
Blank Space: $9.00.
To solve the problem in question 7, we need to find the total height of Emma's tower.
Emma has twelve 2 1/2 inch building blocks.
To find the total height, we need to multiply the height of each block by the number of blocks.
2 1/2 inches can be written as a mixed number: 2 + 1/2 = 2 1/2.
Now, we can multiply:
12 blocks * 2 1/2 inches/block = 30 inches.
So, Emma could build a tower that is 30 inches tall.
For question 8, Brown's department store is having a 1/4 off sale on a shirt that regularly sells for $36.00.
To find the discounted price, we need to multiply the original price by the fraction that represents the discount.
1/4 off is the same as subtracting 1/4 from 1, so we get:
1 - 1/4 = 3/4.
Now, we can calculate the discounted price:
$36.00 * 3/4 = $27.00.
Therefore, during the sale, the shirt would cost $27.00.
To solve these problems, we need to follow a step-by-step process. Let's start with Question 7:
1. We know that Emma has twelve 2 1/2 inch building blocks.
2. To find the height of the tower, we need to add up the heights of all the blocks.
3. Each block is 2 1/2 inches tall. So, we can multiply this height by the number of blocks to get the total height.
Calculation: 2 1/2 inches/block * 12 blocks = 30 inches
4. Therefore, Emma could build her tower to a height of 30 inches.
Now, let's move to Question 8:
1. Brown's department store is having a 1/4 off sale.
2. To calculate the discounted price of a shirt, we need to subtract the discount from the original price.
3. The original price of the shirt is $36.00.
4. The discount is 1/4, which means it is 25% off.
5. We can calculate the discount amount by multiplying 1/4 by the original price.
Calculation: 1/4 * $36.00 = $9.00
6. Now, we can subtract the discount amount from the original price to find the sale price.
Calculation: $36.00 - $9.00 = $27.00
7. Therefore, the shirt would cost $27.00 during the sale.
