Andrea has a strip of fabric that is 825 feet long. How many 2110 -foot pieces can she cut from this fabric?(1 point)
To find out the number of 2110-foot pieces Andrea can cut from 825 feet of fabric, divide the total length of the fabric by the length of each piece: 825 ft ÷ 2110 ft/piece = <<825/2110=.39>>0.39 pieces.
Since Andrea cannot cut a fraction of a piece, she can only cut 0 pieces in total.
Andrea has a strip of fabric that is 8 2/5 feet long. How many 2 1/10 -foot pieces can she cut from this fabric?
To find out the number of 2 1/10 -foot pieces Andrea can cut from 8 2/5 feet of fabric, we need to convert the fraction part of the length into a common denominator.
We can convert 2/5 to a fraction with a denominator of 10 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 2. This gives us 4/10.
So, 8 2/5 feet can be written as 8 4/10 feet.
Now, we can convert both lengths to tenths of a foot:
8 4/10 feet = 8.4 feet
2 1/10 feet = 2.1 feet
Now, we can divide the total length of the fabric by the length of each piece:
8.4 feet / 2.1 feet/piece = 4 pieces.
Therefore, Andrea can cut 4 pieces from the fabric.
A leaky faucet wastes about 1/2 gallon of water every day. How long, in days, will it take for 15 2/5 gallons to be wasted?(1 point)
To find out how long it will take for 15 2/5 gallons to be wasted at a rate of 1/2 gallon per day, we need to determine the number of days it will take to accumulate that much waste water.
First, let's convert 15 2/5 gallons into a fraction with a common denominator of 5:
15 2/5 gallons = (15*5 + 2)/5 gallons = 77/5 gallons.
Now, let's divide the total amount of waste water by the daily rate of waste:
77/5 gallons / 1/2 gallon/day = 77/5 * 2/1 = (77*2)/(5*1) = 154/5 = 30 4/5.
Therefore, it will take approximately 30 4/5 days for 15 2/5 gallons of water to be wasted.
