Which expression represents the amount of material y that would be left over if x pieces of wood that are each 6 1 5 inches long are cut from a board that is 64 inches long?
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:y = 64 - 6.2 x is the required expression.Step-by-step explanation:Total length of the board = 64 inches longNumber of pieces cut from the wooden board = xThe length of each board = 6 (1/5) inches = 6. 2 inThe amount left over of the wooden board = y inchesTotal length of board cut = Number of pieces cut ( Length of each length) = x ( 6.20 inches) = 6. 2 xThe left over length = Total available length - Total length cut = 64 - 6, 2 xor, y = = 64 - 6, 2 xHence, y = 64 - 6, 2 x is the expression representing the amount of material y that would be left over .
