A store selling ribbon by the yard Mike bought 8 yards of red ribbon each yard cost $3.50 complete and solve the working equation that represents the amount amount a Mike paid for buying 8 yards of ribbon
a/8 = ___
a =___ dollars
The working equation would be:
a = 8 * $3.50
a = $<<8*3.50=28>>28
So, the amount Mike paid for buying 8 yards of ribbon is $28.
a/8 = $28/8 = $3.50
To represent the amount that Mike paid for buying 8 yards of ribbon, we can set up the following equation:
a = 8 * $3.50
Now, let's solve for a:
a = 28
So, Mike paid $28 for buying 8 yards of ribbon.
To find the amount that Mike paid for buying 8 yards of ribbon, we need to multiply the cost per yard by the number of yards.
The cost per yard is $3.50, and Mike bought 8 yards. So, the equation to calculate the amount Mike paid for buying 8 yards of ribbon can be written as:
Amount paid = Cost per yard x Number of yards
a = 3.50 x 8
Therefore, the equation representing the amount Mike paid for buying 8 yards of ribbon is:
a = 28
So, Mike paid $28 for buying 8 yards of ribbon.
To solve the second part of the question, since we already found that a = 28, the missing value can be calculated as:
a/8 = 28/8 = $3.50.
Therefore, the missing value after solving for a/8 is $3.50.
