Apiece of paper measures 8.5 inches by 11 inches. mrs. wickowitz wants to hang paper on a bulletin board that has a height of 24 inches and an area of 1,728 square inches. which inequality best represents the possible whole numbers of papers, p, that mrs. wickowitz could hang?

a. p ≤ 12

b. p ≤ 16

c. p ≤ 18

d. p ≤ 24

answer ! !

  D.  p ≤ 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a piece of paper is 8.5·11 = 93.5 square inches, so the area of the bulletin board is that of ...

  1728/93.5 ≈ 18.48

pieces of paper.

The solution is a number greater than 18, so selection D is the only viable choice.

___

The bulletin board is 24 inches high and 1728/24 = 72 inches wide. If Mrs. Wickowitz hangs the papers "sideways", then 3 of them will cover 25.5 inches vertically, and 7 of them will cover 77 inches horizontally. That's 3·7 = 21 whole sheets of paper. That, too, matches selection D.

The weight in ounces of one box = 15ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the relationship between the number of boxes and the weight of the crackers in the boxes is given as 11boxes and 165ounces respectively.

In order words, 11boxes weigh 165ounces.

To determine the weight, in ounces, of one box, we would divide the weight of the 11boxes by the number of boxes.

Weight of the 11boxes = 165ounces

Number of boxes that gives that weight = 11

The weight of one box = 165/11

The weight of one box = 15ounces
