Ten pictures, each measuring 4 inches by 6 inches, are mounted on a piece of green poster board so that there is no overlap. The poster board measures 20 inches by 17 inches. All the shapes are rectangular. How many square inches of the green background will show after the pictures are mounted

100 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimension of each of the ten pictures= 4 inches by 6 inches

Area of one of the pictures=4*6=24 Square Inch.

Total Area of the 10 pictures=24*10=240 Square Inches.

Dimension of the Poster Board=20 inches by 17 inches.

Area of the Poster Board=20*17=340 Square Inches.

Area not covered by the pictures=340-240=100 Square Inches

Therefore, 100 square inches of the green background will show after the pictures are mounted.

answer: no

step-by-step explanation:

you are only given the cost not the amount of pounds.

hello!

to begin with, we're given that on earth, a rock weighs 20 pounds, and while on jupiter, that same rock weighs 42 pounds. now, we're trying to find the weight of a rock that weighs 10.5 pounds on earth, on jupiter.

to solve this, first, set up a proportion, cross-multiply, and solve it algebraically.

setting up the proportion is the hardest and the most confusing part of the problem, but it's simple.

if on earth, the rock weighs 20 lbs, and on jupiter it weighs 42 lbs, our first part of our proportion is 20/42 lbs. the second part has to be equal to each other. this means that 10.5 has to be on the numerator of the fraction, and x, the value we're trying to find, has to be on the denominator. remember that the rock weighs 10.5 lbs on earth, and we're trying to find the weight of it on jupiter (which is x).

20/42 = 10.5/x

next, you would cross-multiply.

20x = 42(10.5)

20x = 441

now, solve it algebraically by using division.

x = 22.05 lbs

this can be rounded to 22.1 lbs.

therefore, the weight of the rock on jupiter is 22.1 lbs, the fourth choice.
