Ed is making 1/2 foot long bookmarks out of leather strips. If he has 12 leather strips that each measure 1 foot long, how many bookmarks can he make? Write and solve the equation that goes with this problem

24 bookmarks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ed is making 1/2 foot long bookmarks out of leather strips.

Now, if he has 12 leather strips that each measure 1 foot long, then each of the 1-foot leather strip can be made into half foot long bookmarks.

Hence, from all the 12 leather strips he can make (12 × 2) = 24 bookmarks.

So, the equation that represents the number of bookmarks that can be made will be, (Answer).

3.4 pizzas

step-by-step explanation:

given is a scatter plot showing number of pizzas sold during weeks for different issues of coupon

y represents number of pizzas sold and x number of coupons issued

y is marked verticaly and x horizontally

the trend line is given as

y =3.4x+43

this says that even when no coupon is issued pizzas sold will be 43

and rate of change of pizza sold for 1 unit of coupon = slope = 3.4

i.e. when x increases by 1 unit y increases by 3.4 units

hence for each additional coupon issued 3.4 pizzas more will be sold
