Patrick laid a pencil and a candle end-to-end. the pencil is 15.80 centimeters long, the candle is 0.303 yards long. there are 30.48 centimeters in a foot. how many inches long are the two items placed end-to-end? a. 0.48 in b. 16.10 in c. 17.13 in d. 43.51 in select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d

c. 17.13 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Length of pencil = 15.80 cm

There are 30.48 centimeters in a foot.

i.e.

i.e. Length of pencil  (in foot)=

Since 1 foot = 12 inches

Then,  Length of pencil  (in inches)=

            (2)

Length of Candle = 0.303 yards

∵ 1 yard = 3 feet

Then, Length of Candle ( in feet)=

1 foot = 12 inches

then, Length of Candle ( in inches)=

             (2)

If the two items placed end-to-end, the total length will be :-

 [Add (1) and (2)]

Hence, the best answer is c. 17.13 in .

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
