I messed up on my last question so here it is CORRECTLY


Ewan is building a maze for his pet rats out of wood. He needs two pieces that are 2 ¾ feet long, one that is 3.5 feet long and two that are 1 5/8 feet long. Ewan can buy wood that is 84 inches long at $2.85 per board, 96 inches long that costs $3.80 for each board, or 10 feet long, for $4.61.


6) How much total wood does Ewan need to build the maze? Please provide an answer and show each step of your calculations. (2 pts) *


7) Which wood combinations would allow Ewan to complete his project so that he wastes the least amount of wood? (1 pt) *

One 10 ft board

Two 96 in boards

One 84 inch board and one 96 in board

Two 84 in boards


8) How much will Ewan spend? (1 pt) *

$4.61

$7.60

$6.65

$5.70


9) How much would will be left over? (1 pt) *

1 1/2 ft

2 1/4 ft

2 3/4 ft

3 1/2 ft

Respuesta :


1ft= 12 in
Convert all to inch

#6) 2 3/4 = 33in x 2 he needs = 66in
3.5 = 42in
1 5/8 = 19.5in x 2 he needs = 39in

Add all up 63+42+39= 147in total he needs

#7) he needs 2x84in to waste least amount of wood

#8) 2.85x2= $5.70

#9) (84x2)-147= 21in left over = 1.75 ft= 1 3/4ft left

over but you don't have that in your choices, I've checked again, I don't think I made any mistakes above.
I need to rush out now, but I'll check again and confirm later. Send me a message so I can find you back again,
