Mrs. Moser wanted to tile a different area of her kitchen that is 10 ft by 4 ft. The tiles come in sheets of 12 tiles, arranged in a rectangle that is 2 tiles wide by 6 tiles long. Because there is space on the sheet between the tiles for the grout, each tile with the spacing is equivalent to 2 in. by 2 in. (Grout is a paste-like substance that fills the gaps between tiles.) How many sheets would be needed to cover the 10 ft by 4 ft area? Show your work.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[I~don't ~thats~ why ~a~ getting~ help\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First you would need to know how what the area of the room is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10*4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you find the area of the tiles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you divide the area of the tiles by the area of the room

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, 40 is the area of the room. So 40/ by the area of the tiles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the "area" of the tiles is 12 * 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.6?

grocery store sells peanuts in bulk foods. The price for 5 lb of peanuts is $8.00. Brian said, “The ratio of dollars to pounds of peanuts is 8:5. That is $1.60 per pound.” Carla said, “The ratio of pounds of peanuts to dollars is 5:8. That is 0.625 of a pound per dollar.” Who is correct? Explain your reasoning.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think the answer is??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am not sure that's why I need help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. So re-read the question. They were talking about ratios. And they want you to tell them which ratio is correct. And why.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[am ~\not ~sure~ that's ~why ~am ~getting ~help\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One of them is wrong. The two ratios are 8:5 or 5:8
