Answer:

<h3>Length = 30 feet </h3><h3>Width = 21 feet </h3>

<em><u>Given </u></em><em><u>-</u></em><em><u> </u></em>Length is nine feet more

Area is 252

<u>To </u><u>find </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u> </u>Value of length and width

<em><u>Solution</u></em><em><u>-</u></em><em><u> </u></em>

let the width of the carpet be X

therefore length = 9 + X

Area of carpet = Length * width

252 = (9+x) * X

252 = 9x + x²

<em><u>Solving </u></em><em><u>the </u></em><em><u>equation </u></em><em><u>by </u></em><em><u>splitting </u></em><em><u>middle </u></em><em><u>term </u></em>

x² + 9x - 252 = 0

x²- 21x + 12x - 252= 0

x ( x - 21) + 12( x - 21) = 0

(x -21)( x + 12) = 0

X = 21 or X = (-12)

Length = 9 + X

= 30 or (-3)

negative is not possible so

length = 30

width = 21

What is the reciprocal of 6/5? <br> A. 1 <br> B. 1 1/5 <br> C. 12/10 <br> D. 5/6
Sergio039 [100]
The reciprocal of 6/5 is D. 5/6

Reciprocal simply means swapping the position of the numbers in the fraction. The numerator becomes the denominator and the denominator becomes the numerator.

We need to get reciprocal of a fraction when division is performed.

For example: 2 ÷ 1/5

2 may be a whole number but in fraction form it is 2/1.

1st fraction = 2/1
2nd fraction = 1/5

In dividing fractions, the 1st step we need to do is to get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.

1/5 ⇒ 5/1

Then, we multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.
2/1 * 5/1 = 10

So, 2 ÷ 1/5 = 10
