So how many of 5/8 wood pieces out of a 4 5/8 board
let's make the board size into a improper fraction so 8*4+5 = 37
so the board is 37/8
how many times can 5/8 go into 37/8
37/8 / 5/8
"Keep, change, flip" (for division of fractions)
keep the first number, change the sign into multiplication, and flip the last fraction
37/8 * 8/5
That is 7 2/5
Only 7 full 5/8 feet pieces of wood can be cut from a board that is 4 5/8 feet long (remainder 2/5)

Hope this helps :)

You went to Walmart and spend $75. Of the total bill, $45.50 included non-taxable items. How much is the final bill if you apply

Alina [70]

We have been given that you went to Walmart and spend $75. Of the total bill, $45.50 included non-taxable items.

Let us find the amount of taxable items by subtracting amount of non-taxable items from total bill.

$\text{Amount of taxable items}=\$75-\$45.50$

$\text{Amount of taxable items}=\$29.50$

We have been given that the rate of tax is 7.5% to the taxable items. To find the amount of tax, we will find 7.5% of $29.50.

$\text{Amount of tax}=\$25.50\times \frac{7.5}{100}$

$\text{Amount of tax}=\$25.50\times 0.075$

$\text{Amount of tax}=\$2.2125$

Final amount of bill would be amount of bill plus amount of tax.

$\text{Final amount of bill}=\$75+\$2.2125$

$\text{Final amount of bill}=\$77.2125$

Therefore, final amount of bill would be $\$77.2125$ .
