Mrs Lynch is redoing the floors in the bedrooms of her house. She has one bedroom that is 9.5 ft by 10.4 ft. She also has 3 bedrooms that are 8.4 ft by 9.35 ft. The amount of flooring is determined by finding the area of all four rooms. Write an equation to show the problem that needs to be solved, use a variable that helps tell the story. Explain your variable. How much flooring does she need?
(9.5 * 10.4) + 3(8.4 * 9.35) = s
s = square feet of flooring
(9.5 * 10.4) + 3(8.4 * 9.35) = s
98.8 + 3 (78.54) = s
98.8 + 235.62 = s
334.42 = s
334.42 sq. ft

Three houses on my street compete to see who has the longest light that they used to decorate they’re entire house they only use one strand, the griffins lights are 19.87 feet long, the Peterson’s lights are 6.2 times as long, the Browns lights are 3.4 times as much than the Peterson’s. How many feet of lights did the three houses use in total??
ReplyDeleteThe answer is: (19.87 * 6.2) + (123.194 * 3.4) = F F=feet of lights the product is 425.6154 F= 425.6154
Emma #1
ReplyDeleteEmma is ordering 3 pairs of glasses. One pair of glasses is 2.3 in by 1.2 in. The 2 other pairs are 2.5 in by 1.4 in. What is the total amount of inches for all of the pairs? Explain your variable.6.26 inches because I did (2.3×1.2)+(2.5×1.4)×2=I. I did the variable I because that stands for Inches.

Jules
ReplyDeleteJules has 7 books. 3 books are 2.5 square inches by 7.3 square inches. The other 4 books are 3.9 square inches by 8.2 square inches. What is the area of the all the books? Write an equation to show how to solve the problem. Use a variable that will make sense with the story.
Answer:
3 x (2.5 x 7.3) + 4 x (3.9 x 8.2) = S
3 x(2.5 x 7.3) = 54.75
4 x (3.9 x 8.2) =127.92
127.92 + 54.75 = 182.67 Square Inches

ReplyDeleteKeshob made four fences, one fence was 9.4 by 3.7, the other fences were 5.4 by 6.3 how much area is in all of the fences use a variable for the the answer. The answer is 136.84
(9.4 x 3.7 = (34.78 = a)
a = area of fence
(5.4 x 6.3 = (34.02 = a)
(34.02 x 3 = (102.06 = a)
102.06 or a is the area of the other three fences
34.78 or a is the area of the first fence
So do 102.06 + 34.78 = a

Alec had 1 room that was 9.5 ft. by 10.5 ft. There was 4 other rooms that were 6.4 ft. by 7.8 ft.The walls are being painted for each room. Write an equation to show the problem that needs to be solved, use a variable that helps tell the story. Explain your variable. How much wall space needs to be painted?
ReplyDelete(9.5 x 10.5 +4 (6.4 x 7.8) = s
s= square ft. of wall space to be painted
(9.5 x 10.5) + 4 (6.4 x 7.8) = s
99.75 + 4(49.92) = s
99.75 + 199.68 = s
299.43 = s
299.43 = sq. ft. of wall space to be painted
Vincent has 179 marbles and wants to split them evenly into 8 boxes. About how many marbles will be in each box? You can round 179 to 170 and 8 to 10. The real answer would be 179 divided by 8 = 22 R3.
ReplyDeleteIt is a remainder 3 because 3 of the left over marbles are not needed.
