a. 0.48 in
b. 16.10 in
c. 17.13 in
d. 43.51 in

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Patrick laid a pencil and a candle end-to-end.

The pencil is 15.80 centimeters long, the candle is 0.303 yards long.

The answer of the options are given in inches so, we convert both to inches.

1 cm=0.394 inch

15.80 cm=6.22 inch

1 yard= 36 inches

0.303 yard=10.908 inch

Now to lay the pencil and candle end to end we add the length of both

       = 6.22+10.908 inches

      = 17.13 in.

Hence, correct option is:

c. 17.13 in.

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
