Vincent needs 30 inches of wood to make 1 shelf how many feet of wood dose vincent need to make 6 shelves

Step-by-step explanation:

We can assume each shelve takes the same amount of wood to make. So if 30 inches are needed for one shelve, 30*6 inches of wood will be needed for 6 shelves. 30*6=180, so 180 inches of wood is needed to make 6 shelves. However, the question asks for the final answer to be in feet. There are 12 inches in a foot so we can divide by 12 to find the amount of feet needed to make 6 shelves. 180/12=15. Therefore, 15 feet are needed to make 6 shelves.

the answer is here: : )

:

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :
