I NEED THE ANSWER NOW PLZZ HELLPPP!!
ASAP ASAP!!
Juan bought a piece of lumber that is 18 feet long.
a. Does he have enough lumber to make the five shelves? If not, how
much more does he need? If so, how much will be left over?
What five shelves ?
depends on each of the five shelves.
To determine whether Juan has enough lumber to make the five shelves, we need to know the length of each shelf. Once we have that information, we can calculate the total length needed for the shelves and compare it to the length of the lumber Juan bought.
If we assume that each shelf requires the same length, we can divide the total length of the lumber (18 feet) by the number of shelves (5) to find the length needed for each shelf. Let's do the calculation:
18 feet / 5 shelves = 3.6 feet per shelf
Now, if the length per shelf is less than or equal to 3.6 feet, Juan has enough lumber to make the five shelves. However, if the length per shelf is greater than 3.6 feet, Juan will need more lumber.
To calculate how much more lumber Juan would need or how much would be left over, we can subtract the total length needed for the shelves from the length of the lumber:
Total length needed = 3.6 feet per shelf * 5 shelves = 18 feet
If Juan has exactly 18 feet of lumber, there will be no length left over. If the total length needed is less than 18 feet, there will be lumber left over. And if the total length needed is greater than 18 feet, Juan would need additional lumber to complete the shelves.
To summarize, we need to know the length required for each shelf to determine whether Juan has enough lumber. We also need to calculate the total length needed for the shelves and compare it to the length of the lumber he bought.
