With word problems, you just have to break them down. Sometimes it gets confusing because there is sometimes stuff in word problems that you don't even need to use to solve it.

Answer 26

Sandy is working with a carpenter to frame a house. They are using 8-foot-long boards, but each board must be cut to 94.6 inches long How much is cut off each board? (1foot= 12 inches)

Answer 27

1/12 = 8/x (1 ft to 12 in = 8 ft to x in)
cross multiply
x = (8)(12)
x = 96 in
Each 8 ft board is 96 inches.
Each board has to be cut to 94.6 in so we have to subtract
96 - 94.6 = 1.4
ANSWER : 1.4 inches are cut off of each board.

A machine uses pieces of tape to seal packages. It cuts the tape into pieces exactly 2.375 inches long. if it uses 4pieces of tape for a package , how many packages can it seal with a roll of tape 1,900 inches long ?

Answer 35

It uses 4 pieces of tape for a package and the tape is 2.375 inches long, then it uses (4)(2.375) = 9.5
It uses 9.5 inches per package.
How many packages can it tape using 1900 inches ?
We have to divide......1900/9.5 = 200
ANSWER : It can tape 200 packages with 1900 inches.

Answer 38

Jack"s club is selling grapefruit to raise money. for every box they sell , they get $1.35 profit. They have sold 84 boxes already. How many more boxes must they sell to raise 270 dollars ?

Answer 39

First lets see how much profit they have already made.
They get 1.35 for every box they sell. They have already sold 84 boxes.
Do you know how to tell how much profit they have already made ?

Answer 40

113.4 ?

Answer 41

yes.......now do you know how to do proportions ?

Answer 42

not really

Answer 43

let me show you.....
84 boxes made them 113.40 profit. Now you want to find out how many boxes that will make them 270.
84/113.4 = x/270 (x stands for # of boxes.)
This is the proportion that we will have to solve to find out how many boxes will make $270.
I have a really hard time explaining proportions. Can you kind of understand ?

Answer 44

kind of ? so do you add 113.4 ? :o

Answer 45

no......we do the proportion...
84/113.4 = x/270
cross multiply
(113.4)(x) = (84)(270)
113.4x = 22680
can you solve for x ? Do you know how ?

Answer 46

no ;/ ?

Answer 47

The more I look at this question.......I might have done it wrong.
They already made 113.40 selling 84 boxes.
So all they need is 270 - 113.40 = 156.60
Is the question asking for a total of $270 or is it $270 more then what they already sold ?

Answer 48

i got it thanks :) i need one more :/ ?

Answer 49

did you figure it out ?

Answer 50

yeahh .. i have one more question ?

Answer 51

ok

Answer 52

For the question I messed up on....did you get 116 boxes ?

Answer 53

a stadium has 20,000 reserved seats and 25,00 general admission seats. if reserved seats are $17.50 and general admission seats $10.75 , how much money would be taken in if tickets for all the seats were sold ?

Answer 54

20,000 reserved seats at 17.50 = (20,000)(17.50) = the money you will get for reserved seats.
Is the general admission seats = 2,500 or 25,000 ?
I need to know this so I can continue with the problem

Answer 55

25,000

Answer 56

ok....
general admission seats....there are 25,000 at 10.75
(25,000)(10.75) = the money you will get for general admission seats.
can you figure the money you will get from all seats ?

Answer 57

no ;/ these are my answers ;/
a) $718,750
b) $268,750
c) $350,000
d) $618,750

Answer 58

(20,000)(17.50) = 350,000 (reserved seat money)
(25,000)(10.75) = 268,750 (general admission seat money)
350,000 + 268,750 = 618,750 (total money)
ANSWER : D. $ 618,750

Answer 59

That question that I messed up on.....the answer is 116 boxes
