If you draw the line you will see 2/3 is closer to 3/4
Original:
<span>The width and length of a rectangle are consecutive odd integers
</span>so W = x and L = x + 2
<span>If the length is increased by 5 feet, then new L = x + 2 + 5 = x + 7
</span>
A = L x W
60 = (x + 7) x
60 = x^2 + 7x
x^2 + 7x - 60 = 0
(x - 5)(x + 12) = 0
x = 5 and x = -12
From here you have x = W = 5 ft and L = x + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7 feet
Area of original = 5 x 7 = 35
answer
<span>the area of the original rectangle: </span>35 ft^2
60% or 3/5 of the tank will be filled in an hour.
The pump will fill 2/5 of the tank in 2/3 hours.
In order to find out how much of the tank will be filled in an hour, use direct proportion and assume portion of the tank that will be filled up in an hour is x.
<em>2/5 of tank : 2/3 hours </em>
<em>x of tank : 1 hour </em>
Cross multiply to get:
2/3x = 2/5
x = 2/5 ÷ 2/3
x = 2/5 x 3/2
= 0.6 of the tank
= 60%
= 3/5 of tank
In conclusion, 60% of the tank will be filled in an hour.
