So if Lisa's reading list is 20% fiction, that's 20/100. So how can you simplify 20/100 so that the top number (the numerator) is 5? 
If you divide both numbers by 4 (the same as dividing the fraction by 4), then you get 5/25. That means 5 out of 25 books are fiction. Her reading list is 25 books long.

A large rectangular movie screen in an IMAX theater has an area of 8,364 square feet. Find the dimensions of the screen if it is
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The dimensions of the screen are

Length:102 feet

Width: 82 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the rectangle (movie screen) is equal to

A=LW

where

L is the length

W is the width

we have

A=8,364\ ft^2

so

8,364=LW ----> equation A

The screen is 20 feet longer than it is wide.

so

L=W+20 ---> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

8,364=(W+20)W

solve for W

8,364=W^2+20W\\W^2+20W-8,364=0

solve the quadratic equation by graphing

the solution is W=82 ft

see the attached figure

Find the value of L

L=82+20=102\ ft

therefore

The dimensions of the screen are

Length:102 feet

Width: 82 feet
