One of your employees is bidding on a carpet installation job. they estimate that it will take 3 hours to install 12 square yards of carpeting in a room that measures 11' 6" by 12' 9" and that it will take 12.3 hours to install the carpet. after reviewing the calculations, is the bid correct? if not, what error was made?

No, the bid is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of your employees is bidding on a carpet installation job.

They estimate that it will take 3 hours to install 12 square yards of carpeting.

we know that 1 square yard= 9 square foot.

12 square yard= 12×9 square foot=108 square foot

i.e. it takes 3 hours to carpet 108 square foot.

Hence time taken to carpet 1 square foot= hour

Now the dimension of room is:

11' 6"× 12' 9" i.e. we convert both the units to foot as:

1 foot= 12 inch

11'6"=11+(6/12)=11.5  foot.

and 12'9"=12+(9/12)=12.75 foot.

Hence, dimension of room=11.5 foot×12.75 foot

Hence area of room=11.5×12.75=146.625 square foot.

Time to carpet 146.625 square foot=

hour

=4.0729 hour

But it is given that it takes 12.3 hours to install the carpet.

Hence, the calculations were wrong.

you'll just earn points here

step-by-step explanation:

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.
