E I'm confused... help? 1. Brielle wants to cut fabric that is 3 1/2 yards long into 1/4 yard sections.

How many sections can she cut?

2. Ms. Greene pays $600 each month to rent her apartment. At work, she earns $20 per hour.

Which equation represents her income, i, after paying rent and working w hours?

1. 14 sections

2. i = 20w - 600

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

I find it easier to work with decimals, so I converted 3 1/2 yards to 3.5 yards and 1/4 yards to .25 yards

in order to find how many sections she can cut, you divide.

3.5 divided by .25 = 14

if you wanted to keep it in fraction form, you can do 3 1/2 divided by 1/4

2.

since she makes $20 per hour, this can be written as 20w

you have to subtract her rent ($600) off of the total in order to find her income

therefore ... i = 20w - 600
