The builder measures the perimeter of the foundation to be 425 ft. he must order steel beams to install around the perimeter of the foundation. steel must be ordered in meters. how many meters of steel should the builder order ?

The builder should order 129.54 meters of steal.

Step-by-step explanation:

I just went on google and typed in "ft. to meters converter".

1).  $2,700 is  (2,700/6,000) = 45% of  6,000.

      It took 6 years to earn it, so it earned (45%/6) = 7.5% each year.
      That's the simple-interest rate.


2).  The investment earns 4.5% each year, so it earned 9% in 2 years.

      The $1,150.65 is the 9% of the original investment.  Call it V.

      1150.65 = 0.09 x V .

Divide each side by 0.09 :

         V  =  1150.65 / 0.09  =  $12,785 .


3).  There are 18 marbles in the bag all together.

a).  8 of them are green.  If you close your eyes and pull out 1 marble,
the probability that it's a green one is
                                                               8/18 = 4/9  =  44.4% .

b).  If it was a red marble, and you put it in your pocket, then
there are only 17 in the bag now, and 8 of them are still green.

If you pull another one, the probability that it's green is

                                                               8/17  =  47.1% .


5).  There are 10 marbles in the bag all together.
(The second sentence doesn't say anything, and doesn't mean anything.)

If you pull out a silver marble and put it in your pocket, then
there are 9 marbles in the bag, and 2 of them are orange.

The probability of pulling an orange marble now is

                                  2/9  =  22.2% .
