A carpenter is building a gate that will be 3-1/4 feet wide. The gate will be made of boards 3 inches wide. How many pieces of board will it take to fit across the front of the gate?
To find out how many pieces of board will be needed to fit across the front of the gate, we need to convert all measurements to the same unit.
3-1/4 feet can be converted to inches by multiplying by 12 (since 1 foot = 12 inches).
3-1/4 feet = 3 * 12 + 1 * 12 / 4 = 36 + 3 = 39 inches
Now, we need to divide the width of the gate by the width of each board to find out how many boards are needed.
39 inches / 3 inches = 13
It will take 13 pieces of board to fit across the front of the gate.
A classroom will seat 80 people. If 56 seats are filled, what percentage of the seats are filled?
To find the percentage of seats that are filled, we first need to calculate the percentage of seats that are filled out of the total number of seats.
Percentage of seats filled = (Number of seats filled / Total number of seats) * 100
Given: Number of seats filled = 56, Total number of seats = 80
Percentage of seats filled = (56 / 80) * 100 = 0.7 * 100 = 70%
Therefore, 70% of the seats in the classroom are filled.
Michi put $7.50 worth of gas in her car. Two co-workers who were riding to work with her offered to share the cost of the gas. One paid 1/2 of the total amount and the other paid 1/3 of the total amount. How much of the total amount was left for Michi to pay?
Michi paid $7.50 for the gas.
Let's calculate how much the other two co-workers paid together:
1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6
So, the other two co-workers together paid 5/6 of the total amount.
This means that Michi paid 1/6 of the total amount.
Since $7.50 is 1/6 of the total amount, the total amount is $7.50 * 6 = $45.
Therefore, the two co-workers paid $45 * 5/6 = $37.50 in total.
This means Michi paid $45 - $37.50 = $7.50 of the total amount, and was left to pay $7.50.
So, Michi was left to pay $7.50 of the total amount.
A bookshelf is 4-3/4 feet wide. How many 3-inch-wide books will fit on the shelf?
To find out how many 3-inch-wide books will fit on a 4-3/4 feet wide bookshelf, we need to convert the width of the bookshelf to inches.
4-3/4 feet can be converted to inches by multiplying by 12 (since 1 foot = 12 inches).
4-3/4 feet = 4 * 12 + 3 = 48 + 3 = 51 inches
Now, we can determine how many 3-inch-wide books will fit on the bookshelf by dividing the total shelf width by the width of each book.
Number of books = Total shelf width / Width of each book
Number of books = 51 inches / 3 inches = 17 books
Therefore, 17 books that are 3 inches wide each will fit on the 4-3/4 feet wide bookshelf.
