A string of decorative lights has 32 bulbs for every 2 feet of wire. What is the unit rate of bulbs per yard?

HELP

First convert two feet into yards, knowing that:

1 foot = 0.333... yards

So,

2 feet in yards would mean double of 0.333... because one single foot is 0.333... yards.

2(0.333...)

= 0.666..., which we can round to 0.67.

So our new ratio will be 32 bulbs per 0.67 yards.

Now we convert this ratio into a unit rate,

Order your units;

Bulbs         32           47.76

  = , which rounds to about 48.

Yards        0.67             1

So the unit rate is 48 bulbs per yard.

answer:   b

step-by-step explanation:

x2 = 16

x can not be a negative number because 16 is positive

the only answer would be positive 8  

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
