Area is calculated as length times width.
A = lw
Is the area and length are known, then you can plug in their values and isolate w to find the width.
I find it easiest to convert to decimals rather than using mixed numbers.
<span>8 ¾ = 8.75 (area)
</span><span>3 ½ = 3.5 (length)
Now let's plug in the values.
8.75 = 3.5w
To isolate w, just divide both sides by 3.5.
8.75 / 3.5 = 2.5
This means w = 2.5.
So the width is 2.5 feet.
Now convert the decimal back to a mixed number.
2.5 = 2 </span>½

So the answer to this question is that the width is 2.5, or 2 ½.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

first option

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain ( f ○ g)(x) substitute x = g(x) into f(x) , that is

f(\frac{1}{2x} )

= \frac{2}{\frac{1}{2x}+3 } ( multiply numerator/ denominator by 2x to clear the fraction

= \frac{2(2x)}{2x(\frac{1}{2x}+3) }

= \frac{4x}{1+6x}

What is solution of 5+3(y-4)=5(y+2)-y
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

y = -17

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + 3(y - 4) = 5(y + 2) - y        Distribute

5 + 3y -12 = 5y + 10 - y          Combine like terms

-7 + 3y = 4y + 10

+7                 +17                    Add 17 to both sides

3y = 4y + 17

-4y   -4y                                 Subtract 4y from both sides

-y = 17                                     Divide both sides by -1

y = -17

PLEASE PLEEAASE HELP!! You have a 5-question multiple-choice test. Each question has four choices. You don’t know any of the ans
Rasek [7]
<span>The number of ways to permute three correct answers among five questions is 5Choose3 which is 5!/(3!*2!) which equals 10. We must then have the correct answer three times which happens .25 of the time, and two wrong answers 75 of the time. So the probability is 10*0.25^3*.75^2 which is 0.087890625 or roughly an 8.8% chance.</span>

27/18= 1.5

18/6 = 3

3•1.5= 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

$27 divided by 18 muffins equals $1.50, 18 muffins divided by 6 people equals 3, 3 muffins times $1.50 equals $4.50. So $4.50 is how much each person would have to pay.
