•Plywood is sold in rectangle sheets 4 feet wide and 8 feet long. How many 4x8 sheets of plywood are needed to completely cover a rectangle shaped floor measuring 16 feet by 12 feet.
( 16 * 12 ) / ( 4 * 8 ) = 192 / 32 = 6
uinn and Julius inherited $50,000 each from their great-grandmother’s estate. Quinn invested her money in a 5-year CD paying 1.6% interest compounded semiannually. Julius deposited his money in a money market account paying 1.05% compounded monthly. How much total money will Quinn have after 5 years
Initial amount=$50000 rate=0.016 Number of years=5 Amount after 5 years compounded semiannually= 50000(1+0.016/2)^5*2 =50000(1.08)^10 [ =50000*2.16 =108000 Amount after 5 years compounded semiannually=$108000
To find out how many 4x8 sheets of plywood are needed to cover the floor, we need to determine how many sheets can fit in both the length and the width of the floor.
First, let's calculate how many sheets can fit in the length of the floor. The floor is 16 feet long, and each sheet of plywood is 8 feet long. To find the number of sheets that fit in the length, we divide the length of the floor by the length of each sheet:
16 feet / 8 feet/sheet = 2 sheets
So, in the length of the floor, 2 sheets of plywood can fit.
Next, let's calculate how many sheets can fit in the width of the floor. The floor is 12 feet wide, and each sheet of plywood is 4 feet wide. To find the number of sheets that fit in the width, we divide the width of the floor by the width of each sheet:
12 feet / 4 feet/sheet = 3 sheets
Therefore, in the width of the floor, 3 sheets of plywood can fit.
Now, to find the total number of sheets needed to cover the floor, we multiply the number of sheets in the length by the number of sheets in the width:
2 sheets x 3 sheets = 6 sheets
Hence, you would need 6 sheets of 4x8 plywood to completely cover a rectangle-shaped floor measuring 16 feet by 12 feet.
