1. Of the bundles delivered daily to the store, 1/3 consists of the morning edition of The Daily Sun. Another 2 bundles are made up of the afternoon edition of the same paper. Of the remaining bundles, 1/2 is regional, one is a local newspaper and one is from another state. How many bundles are delivered daily to the bookstore?

2. A concrete sidewalk 3 feet wide, 18 feet long, and 4 inches thick contains how many cubic feet of concrete?

Please help.

Sure! I can help you with both of these questions.

1. To find the number of bundles delivered daily to the store, we can go step by step:
- Let's start with the morning edition of The Daily Sun. We know that 1/3 of the bundles consist of the morning edition. So, if we let "x" be the total number of bundles, then (1/3)x bundles are of the morning edition.
- Next, we know that there are 2 bundles of the afternoon edition. This means we have (1/3)x + 2 bundles accounted for so far.
- Now, we are left with the remaining bundles. It is given that 1/2 of the remaining bundles are regional, and the other two consist of a local newspaper and one from another state. Since 1/2 of the remaining bundles are regional, that means we have (1/2)((1/3)x + 2) bundles that are regional.
- Therefore, we have accounted for (1/3)x + 2 + (1/2)((1/3)x + 2) bundles so far.
- To simplify this expression, we can use the distributive property: (1/3)x + 2 + (1/2)((1/3)x + 2) = (1/3)x + 2 + (1/6)x + 1 = (5/6)x + 3 bundles.
- We are told that this expression represents the total number of bundles delivered daily to the store, so we can set it equal to the total number of bundles: (5/6)x + 3 = x.
- Solving this equation, we get: (5/6)x - x = -3 which simplifies to -1/6x = -3.
- Multiplying both sides by -6, we find that x = 18.
- Therefore, the number of bundles delivered daily to the bookstore is 18.

2. To find the volume of the concrete sidewalk, we need to multiply the width, length, and thickness:
- The width is given as 3 feet, the length is given as 18 feet, and the thickness is given as 4 inches.
- Since the width, length, and thickness are all in feet, we don't need to convert anything.
- The volume is calculated as width × length × thickness, so in this case, it is 3 ft × 18 ft × (4/12) ft = 54 cubic feet.
- Therefore, the concrete sidewalk contains 54 cubic feet of concrete.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

1/3 B + 2 +1/2(B-1/3 B -2)+2=B

solve forB

voluem=LxWXh (in feet)
volume=18x3x4/12= ?
