2. A carpenter wants to cut a wood board that is feet long d on
5
into pieces that are feet long. How many whole pieces
can be cut from the board? How much wood is left over
16

2 whole pieces

5/24 feet left

Step-by-step explanation:

divide 5/6 by 5/16 = 2 2/3 pieces

so there are 2 whole pieces and 2/3 small piece.

The 2/3 small short equals to 5/16 x 2/3 = 5/24 ft

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
