At the video rental shop, 5 movies can be rented for $6.99. Each additional movie rental is $1.99. What would be the total cost of renting 8 movies?
The first 5 movies cost $6.99, which leaves 3 more movies to rent. Each additional movie is $1.99, so the cost of renting the remaining 3 movies is $1.99 per movie x 3 movies = $5.97.
Therefore, the total cost of renting 8 movies would be $6.99 + $5.97 = $12.96.
The scale blueprint of a rectangular patio is drawn 18 inch to 1 foot. If the patio is 14 feet long, what is the measure of the patio's length on the blueprint?
We know that 18 inches = 1.5 feet (since there are 12 inches in a foot), so the scale blueprint can be simplified to 1.5 feet to 1 foot.
To find the length of the patio on the blueprint, we can set up a proportion:
1.5 feet / 1 foot = x / 14 feet
where x is the length of the patio on the blueprint.
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
1.5 feet * 14 feet = x * 1 foot
21 = x
Therefore, the length of the patio on the blueprint is 21 inches.
