Joseph needs 345 cement blocks to build a wall 40 cm thick. He needs 205 cement blocks to build a wall 25 cm thick. Each block costs $0.75. How much more will the thicker wall cost?

9514 1404 393

  $105

Step-by-step explanation:

The thicker wall takes 345 -205 = 140 more blocks. Each of those costs $0.75, so the added blocks will cost ...

  140 × $0.75 = $105

The thicker wall will cost $105 more.

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1

x² + 3x + 7 = 0       [ax² + bx + c]

a = 1

b = 3

c = 7

quadratic formula:

    (+/- is this ±)
