Min Jee wants to build a small patio using either brick or paver stones.It will be 70 inches long and 49 inches wide. Each brick covers an area of 3 1/2 inches by 7 1/2 inches, and cost $0.59.
Each paver covers an areas 8.4 inches by 8.4 inches and costs $1.88. What would be less expensive to use, and by how much?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Brick = 3.5 in by 7.5 in and costs $0.59
Paver = 8.4 in by 8.4 in and costs $1.88

The small patio's area = 3430 square inches
The Area of 1 Brick = 26.25 square inches
The Area of 1 Paver = 70.56 square inches

The # of Bricks to complete the Patio will be:

Patio's Area / the Area of 1 Brick = # of Bricks to complete the patio
3430 square inches / 26.25 square inches = 130.67 = 131

Then, multiply the # of Bricks to complete the patio by the amount that 1 brick costs:

131 * $0.59 = $77.29

It will take $77.29 to complete the Patio with bricks.

The # of Pavers to complete the Patio:

Patio's Area / the Area of 1 Paver = # of Pavers to complete the Patio
3430 square inches / 70.56 square inches = 48.6 = 49

Then, multiply the # of Pavers to complete the patio by the amount that 1 Paver costs:

49 * $1.88 = $92.12

Cost of Bricks to complete Patio = $77.29
Cost of Pavers to complete Patio = $92.12

To conclude, Bricks would cost less by $14.83.

Answers

Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, by dividing the numerator and denominator by 8, 56/72 is equal to 7/9 or seven ninths.

Hey there! :D This is a ratio so basically ratios and fractions are the same things! So lets set it up first we do 56/8=7 and 72/8= 9. Also when you are dividing fractions you always have to divide by the same number. So your answer is 7/9.

Hope I helped! ;)

Today, a bicycle rider rode her bike 5 1/2 miles. Yesterday, she rode 6 1/4 miles. The difference in length between the two rides is what fraction of the longer ride?

Answers

Answer

$(3)/(25)$

Explanation

First we need to find the difference of the tow fractions. But to find it, we need to convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction so we can ease our calculation.

Remember that to convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, we just need to multiply the denominator of the fraction part by the whole number and add the result to the numerator of the fraction part; the denominator of the improper fraction will be the same denominator of the fraction part of the mixed fraction:

$5(1)/(2) =((5*2)+1)/(2) =(10+1)/(2)=(11)/(2)$

$6(1)/(4) =((4*6)+1)/(4) =(24+1)/(4) =(25)/(4)$

Now we can find the difference:

$(25)/(4) -(11)/(2)$

Remember that to add or subtract fractions, both fraction must have the same denominator, so we are multiplying both numerator and denominator of our second fraction by 2:

$(25)/(4) -(11)/(2)*(2)/(2)$

$(25)/(4) -(22)/(4)=(25-22)/(4) =(3)/(4)$

Now to find what fraction of our difference is to the longer ride, we just need to divide our difference by the longer ride:

$((3)/(4))/(6(1)/(4) ) =((3)/(4))/((25)/(4) ) =(3)/(4) *(4)/(25) =(3)/(25)$

We ca conclude the difference in length between the two rides is $(3)/(25)$ of the longer ride.
