If x is the width, and the length is 3 more than twice the width,
the length : 2x+3

Area = length x width

(2x+3)x = 119
By expanding equation, 2 x^{2} +3x = 119
Thus, 2 x^{2} +3x-119=0 
By factorisation, 
(x-7)(2x+17)= 0
x=7 or x= -17/2 (rejected because width cannot be negative)

Thus, the width is 7 and the length is 2(7) +3 = 17

L = 3 + 2w

119 = w × ( 3 + 2w )
119 = 3w + 2w^2
2w^2 + 3w - 119 = 0
( w - 7 ) ( 2w + 11 ) = 0
w = 7
x = w
x = 7

What is the Quotient of 1 and 2/3 divided by 2 and 3/5
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

  25/39

Step-by-step explanation:

For division of mixed numbers, it often works well to first convert them to improper fractions. Then the division proceeds in the usual way: "invert and multiply", or "dot, swap."

__

  1\dfrac{2}{3}\div2\dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{5}{3}\div\dfrac{13}{5}=\dfrac{5}{3}\cdot\dfrac{5}{13}\\\\=\dfrac{5\cdot5}{3\cdot13}=\boxed{\dfrac{25}{39}}

Using a number cube and this hat with 5 different-colored marbles, which simulation would help you answer this question? During
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

  see the attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that the question is interested in the probability that a randomly chosen class is a Friday class with a lab experiment (2/15). That is somewhat different from the probability that a lab experiment is conducted on a Friday (2/3).

Based on our assumption, we want to create a simulation that includes a 1/5 chance of the day being a Friday, along with a 2/3 chance that the class has a lab experiment on whatever day it is.

That simulation can consist of choosing 1 of 5 differently-colored marbles, and rolling a 6-sided die with 2/3 of the numbers being designated as representing a lab-experiment day. (The marble must be replaced and the marbles stirred for the next trial.) For our purpose, we can designate the yellow marble as "Friday", and numbers greater than 2 as "lab-experiment".

The simulation of 70 different choices of a random class is shown in the attachment.

_____

<em>Comment on the question</em>

IMO, the use of <em>70 trials</em> is coincidentally the same number as the first <em>70 days</em> of school. The calendar is deterministic, so there will be exactly 14 Fridays in that period. If, in 70 draws, you get 16 yellow marbles, you cannot say, "the probability of a Friday is 16/70." You need to be very careful to properly state the question you're trying to answer.
